First principle study of hybrid materials based on conjugated polymers and zirconium oxide as a proficient sensor for H₂S gas

DFT Study on the Spin States of Polyaniline–3d Transition-Metal (Sc–Zn) Composites and Their Sensing Application to Detect Chemical Warfare Agents

“…Organic–inorganic composite materials with characteristics of both the components result in highly versatile functional materials with tailored properties and various potential applications. − Specifically, polymer–metal composites have recently piqued scientific interest, where transition metal (TM) nanoparticles are dispersed within a polymer matrix. , This combination allows the integration of desirable properties from both inorganic nanoparticles and polymers. , The goal is to develop a composite that possesses the mechanical flexibility and electrical and optical properties of conducting polymers, along with the high electrical conductivity and magnetic properties of metals. − These composites are now being researched for their application in optoelectronic devices and ultrasensitive chemical and biological sensors. − Also, the high surface area-to-volume ratio of the metal nanoparticles makes them particularly attractive for catalysis …”
