Abstract
Arrays of unheated chemically sensitive resistors (chemiresistors) can serve as
extremely small, low-power-consumption sensors with simple read-out electronics. We
report here results on carbon-loaded polymer composites, as well as polymeric ionic
conductors, as chemiresistor sensors. We use the solubility parameter concept to
understand and categorize the chemiresistor responses and, in particular, we compare
chemiresistors fabricated from polyisobutylene (PIB) to results from PIB-coated acoustic
wave sensors. One goal is to examine the possibility that a small number of diverse
chemiresistors can sense all possible solvents-the "Universal Solvent Sensor Array".keywords: chemiresistor, solubility parameter, chemical sensor
