Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) films were prepared on interdigital electrodes by air-brush technique, and their sensing properties to dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) were studied. The MWNT films were observed by scanning electron microscope. The capacitive response to different concentrations of DMMP vapor was investigated at room temperature. The results showed that the capacitance and loss tangent of the air-brush MWNT sensor both decreased rapidly in varying concentrations ranging from 2.4 to 12 ppm. The sensitivity of capacitance was higher than that of the loss tangent at all the concentrations of DMMP vapors. The sensor exhibited high sensitivity and fast response for DMMP vapor detection.
