Abstract

In this paper we presented experimental results of a gas sensor utilizing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)composites for the alcohol detection which is useful to checking drinking and driving, for example. The MWNT-composites were deposited using spray method on PES substrates suitable for use in low-cost and flexible sensors. We observed the variation of conductance from the sensors exposed to alcohol vapors evaporated at 37C equal to the human body temperature to match real condition. As the result, the conductance was decreased with the increase of ethanol vol% diluted in water. The sensors showed good sensitivity and linearity.
