Composite nanostructures play a crucial role in gas sensing applications owing to their tunable properties and sizes. The main goal of this article is to prepare camphor sulfonic acid (10-50 wt %)-doped PAni/α-Fe 2 O 3 (PFC) composite nanostructured films on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate through in-situ polymerization process and study their gas sensing activity towards various gases. Structural and morphological measurements along with gas sensing properties in terms of selectivity, response, stability, and response-recovery times are investigated and reported. The gas selectivity tests of flexible PFC nanostructured composite films are performed towards different gases such as NO 2 , NH 3 , LPG, CH 3 OH, and C 2 H 5 OH etc., wherein all the flexible PFC (10-50%) films demonstrate a superior selectivity towards NH 3 gas even in the presence of other test gases. Among the different compositions, 30% PFC flexible film exhibits highest response of 72% to 100 ppm NH 3 with good response time of 65s. The systematic study between PFC flexible nanocomposite films and NH 3 gas is conducted and
