“…A better sensitivity to acetone vapor was observed with the films containing this dopant than with more classical ones. Rather than trying to obtain the ideal polymer layer, Barisci et al fabricated an array of sensors based on eight polypyrrole films doped with eight different dopants deposited on the same chip [29]. They used these eight simultaneous signals to successfully identify and quantify benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene compounds.…”

“…The main drawback of gas sensors based on electrodeposited polymers is their lack of selectivity. One solution to partially solve this problem is the use of arrays containing many different polymers as sensing materials as shown by Barisci et al [29] and Hamilton et al [30]. From our point of view, such devices are the only ones in the future that can lead to selective gas sensing.…”

Electrochemically deposited polymers, also called "synthetic metals", have emerged as potential candidates for chemical sensing due to their interesting and tunable chemical, electrical, and structural properties. In particular, most of these polymers (including polypyrrole, polyaniline, polythiophene) and their derivatives can be used as the sensitive layer of conductimetric gas sensors because of their conducting properties. An important advantage of polymer-based gas sensors is their efficiency at room temperature. This characteristic is interesting since most of the commercially-available sensors, usually based on metal oxides, work at high temperatures (300-400 °C). Consequently, polymer-based gas sensors are playing a growing role in the improvement of public health and environment control because they can lead to gas sensors operating with rapid detection, high sensitivity, small size, and specificity in atmospheric conditions. In this review, the recent advances in electrodeposited polymer-based gas sensors are summarized and discussed. It is shown that the sensing characteristics of electrodeposited polymers can be improved by chemical functionalization, nanostructuration, or mixing with other functional materials to form composites or hybrid materials.

“…[2][3][4][5]. Conducting sensors based on PPy film with different dopant were developed for detecting volatile aromatic hydrocarbons [6] and volatile organic solvent sensors have been fabricated using PPy films on conducting glass substrates [7]. Different techniques including electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance [5], Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) [8], photoacoustic effect [9], and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) [10][11] have been used to study the optical and electrical properties of conducting polymers.…”

Abstract-This paper discusses two components suitable for construction of an all-polymer robot, namely a Synthetic Neural Network and water hammer based actuation. A new data processing element, termed Synthetic Neural Network, or SNN, based on a concept of a polymer-based bistable memory device and a conventional transistor made from polymers, is proposed. A phenomenon known as the water hammer effect is described for the purposes of propulsion of the serpentine robot constructed from polymer tubing. Arresting the flow of water in the tube causes it to lurch forward. A relationship between the shape of the hose and the direction of propulsion is investigated with the goal of using the SNN to learn to control the forward progress of the robot based on polymer bend sensors.
