Abstract
In order to fabricate textile-based flexible VOC sensors, two conductive polymers such as polyaniline and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) were used as VOC-sensing materials, and various porous organic membranes were used as base substrates on which the conductive polymers were coated. Electrical resistance change of conductive polymers by adsorption of VOCs was measured. Polyaniline showed better sensitivity than PEDOT:PSS. Porous high density polyethylene membrane exhibited the most stable signal reproducibility and dimensional stability of membrane itself. Even after covering with additional high density polyethylene membrane to protect conductive polyaniline inside, the stable signals were still obtained during repeated measurement.
