Abstract

The presence of toluene and xylene is sensed via surface stress induced deflection of microcantilevers functionalized with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Monolayers are formed on gold coated cantilevers using alkanethiols, mercaptanols, and aromatic thiols. These coatings create a variety of chemical functionalities at the cantilever surface, which impact the interactions between target molecules and the cantilever. The differential responses of the cantilevers are investigated as a means to selectively detect aromatic vapors at parts per thousands (ppth) levels.
