Deposition of Pristine and Functionalized MWCNTs in Alumina Matrix by Sol-Gel Technique and Investigation of their Ammonia Sensing Properties by Sakshi Sharma, K. Sengupta, S.S.Islam

“…A precisional electronic circuit was developed to measure the sensing response of these two composite samples to detect ammonia gas and a detailed comparative analysis was done. While comparing the sensing performance, the functionalized MWCNTs composite sample was found to be more sensitive to ammonia gas with short response time but did not recover at room temperature because of the strong bonding between ammonia molecule and oxygen containing groups on the surface of MWCNTs.…”
