Abstract

New unique abilities towards solvents' vapor of electrically Conductive Polymer nanoComposites (CPCs) have made it a subject, holding the attention of research groups. The direct conversion from chemical information into an electrical signal can take advantage of existing low power microelectronics and sensing technology such as detection of toxic vapor; environmental monitoring in chemical industry and quality control in food processing, beverage and perfume industry. Conductive Polymer nanoComposite (CPC) is a heterogeneous system consisting of insulated polymer matrices and conductive nanofillers. In this paper we have investigated a new route for CNT grafting via ring opening polymerization of e-caprolactone. The influence of this treatment on chemo-electrical properties of the so-called CPC based sensor was investigated in this work.
