Nanocomposite sensors of propylene glycol, dimethylformamide and formaldehyde vapors

The results of research works related to the study of thick-film multiwall carbon nanotube–tin oxide nanocomposite sensors of propylene glycol (PG), dimethylformamide (DMF) and formaldehyde (FA) vapors are presented in this paper. These sensors were derived using hydrothermal synthesis and sol–ge...
