description

The work performed under the National Research Program of Latvia and presented here is about advanced, chemical stimuli responsive materials. Sensor materials are produced on the basis of metallophthalocyanines or zirconia nanocrystals with the purpose of detecting small size molecular compounds like NH3, O2 and O3. Polymer/nanostructured carbon composite is produced to detect large size molecular compounds like organic vapour. Basic gaseous compound sensing principles are discussed within this paper.
