Electrospun Based Polyaniline Sensors - A Review

Abstract

Polyaniline is a polymer with outstanding electronic conductivity and good response to molecules at room temperature. This review focuses on the many uses of electrospun polyaniline nanofibers as chemical sensor with high sensitivity and functionality, providing a concise report of the present status of polyaniline gas sensing applications. Latest developments in this area are reported and the capability of PANI sensors to detect various gases is emphasized. Difficulties that may obstruct practical uses of these sensors are also summarized.
