Polyaniline nanocomposite films (PNCF's) have been deposited at room temperatures by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of Co-B nanoparticles. The PNCF exhibited a highly selective, sensitive and reversible response towards NH3. It exhibited an improved response and recovery times of 3 and 345 s, respectively towards 50 ppm of NH3. The response time in the case of PNCF was found to be better than that exhibited by pure PANI-sensor-films (7 and 400 s). Raman measurements performed before and after the exposure towards NH3 indicated a strong variation in the intensity of the peak corresponding to C=N/C-N+ stretching vibrations. Good sensitivity along with the improved response and recovery times indicated Co-B-PANI nanocomposite film to be suitable for room temperature ammonia sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"73 1","pages":"19-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86353023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work self-aligning TiO2 nanotubes were fabricated, and functionalized with cobalt for specific binding to the volatile biomarkers of interest. Mimics of the volatile biomarkers were dissolved in water at variable concentrations, and nitrogen gas was flowed through the biomarker solutions and delivered to the sensor. A potentiostatic scan was used to measure current across the device under constant potentials ranging from -1.0 volts to 1-volts methyl nicotinate and methyl p-anisate. The sensor response showed a 3 × 105 change in current for methyl nicotinate, and 7.61 × 106 change in current for methyl p-anisate when compared to baseline. The sensor also showed little response to five other VOCs (acetone, ethanol, methanol, benzene, and phenol) which suggest the sensor is functionalized to be specific for the target VOCs associated with TB. Results showed detection of the volatile biomarkers yield orders of magnitude change in current which is detected easily. The sensor is simple to operate, responds in minutes, and has potential applications in non-invasive diagnosis of TB and other diseases that have distinct volatile biomarkers.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"VIII-XV"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90589454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MWCNTs were functionalized prior to their use and then dispersed in water. The nanocomposite was further subjected for physico-chemical characterization using spectroscopic (UV-Vis and FT-IR), FE-SEM analysis. The UV-VIS spectrum of the PANI-MWCNTs nanocomposite shows a free carrier tail with increasing absorption at higher wavelength. This confirms the presence of conducting emeraldine salt phase of the polyaniline and is further supported by FT-IR analysis. The FE-SEM images show that the thin layer of polyaniline is coated over the functionalized MWCNTs forming a `core-shell' like structure. The synthesized nanocomposite was found to be highly dispersible in water and shows beautiful colour change from dark green to blue with change in pH of the solution from 1 to 12 (i.e. from acidic to basic pH). The change in colour of the polyaniline-MWCNTs nanocomposite is mainly due to the pH dependent chemical transformation /change of thin layer of polyaniline.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"133-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91042325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to charge screening, the sensitivity of the device is significantly reduced. A logarithmic dependence is exhibited between the charge present at the electrolyte-insulator interface and the charge mirrored in the conducting channel, which limits the sensitivity of an ideal conventional ISFET to 59.2 mV/pH, also known as the Nernstian limit. Using Dual-Gate effect in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology improves the sensitivity of ISFET. MOSFET test structures are generally fabricated along with ISFETs on the same wafer. In this paper, we have demonstrated the dual gate operation of a Near-Fully Depleted (NFD) SOI MOSFET, by simulating its behavior in SILVACO™ TCAD tool and validating it with the test results of fabricated NFDSOI MOSFET.
