Enhanced trimethylamine gas sensor sensitivity based on quartz crystal microbalance using nanofibers overlaid with maltodextrin
Summary
Maltodextrin laid over polyvinyl acetate nanofibres on a QCM boosts the response to trimethylamine gas 8.3 times, attributed to reversible Lewis acid–base interactions with the amine. The sensor detects about 16 ppm, is selective and stable, and responds and recovers within a few minutes, offering a simple way to monitor TMA in air.
