DRYING TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON DETECTION OF ALCOHOLS IN NANOSTRUCTURED CONJUGATED POLYMER SENSORS

In this paper we report the results obtained during the work of synthesis and characterization of a new class of membranes. In particular we have studied the temperature effects during the drying process of the membranes. PPA (polyphenylacetylene) and its co-polymer P(PA/HEMA) (co- polyphenylacetylene 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), were synthesized in the form of monodispersed nanospheres (see Figure1 a, b, c) by emulsion synthesis technique.
