Study on sensing properties of chitosan-polyethylene oxide-exfoliated graphite based toluene sensors

Chitosan was used as a material to fabricate film sensor because of its structure and properties where it consists of amino group which has free electron. In this study, chitosan was added with polyethylene oxide and exfoliated graphite to study the electrical properties toward wet air, dry air and...
