Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films were prepared on silicon/silica substrates by screen-printed technique at a wafer scale, and their sensing properties to dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) were studied. The SWNT networks were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope. The resistance responses to different concentrations of DMMP vapors were investigated at room temperature. The results showed that the resistance changes of the screen-printed SWNT films increased rapidly in varying concentrations ranging from 20 to 200 ppm. The sensor exhibited high resistance responses, good reproducibility and excellent long-term stability for DMMP vapor detection. The screen-printed SWNT networks would be potentially extended to large-scale, low cost and simple manufacturing sensor applications.
