Gas sensors based on functionalized carbon nanotubes

Gas sensors made of carbon nanotubes without their doping and functionalization have serious shortcomings. Analysis of physics and technics of functionalization of carbon nanotubes by organic polymers, impurities, metalic nanoparticles/nanoclusters and use of nanotube in metaloxide nanocomposites for realization of detectors of different important gases with dramatically improved response, better time characteristics and smaller consumed power is carried out.
