Polyaniline field-effect transistors

B3 is a short notation for V..V -diphenyl-1.4-phcnylcncdiaininc. which is known also as phenyl-end-capped-dimer" of the polyaniline chain [26], B3 consists of three phenyl (benzene-like) rings connected by C-N links as shown in Fig. 1. The interest in this molecule was stimulated by its luminescence properties [27] as well as by the potential applications in the field-effect transistors [28],...

It was established that IL-based chemically sensitive field-effect transistors and quartz crystal microbalance sensors can be developed as well (see, e.g.. Fig. 7.4). For example, chemically sensitive field-effect transistors based on a composite of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA)-doped polyaniline (PAN) and an IL of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imide, BMI(Tf,N) could...

The science of chemical sensors is being studied at Manchester University for the use and application of conducting polymers [4]. Derivatives of polyaniline, polythiophene, polypyrrole and poly(phenylene vinylene) doped with various ions have been investigated as chemical sensors for biosensors, volatile organic compounds, polymer field-effect gas-sensitive transistors and optical sensors based on electrochromic properties.
