DIOL AND TRIOL SENSORS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

A sensor for sensing diols and triols includes a substrate, a conductive coating, and two electrodes. The conductive coating is disposed on the substrate and has affinity for binding with a substance selected from the group consisting of diols, triols, and a combination thereof. The conductive coati...

Zusammenfassung:A sensor for sensing diols and triols includes a substrate, a conductive coating, and two electrodes. The conductive coating is disposed on the substrate and has affinity for binding with a substance selected from the group consisting of diols, triols, and a combination thereof. The conductive coating includes PEDOT:PSS and a humectant, which together constitute at least 95 weight percent of the conductive coating. The two electrodes are in contact with the conductive coating to probe conductivity of the conductive coating so as to detect the substance from a reduction of the conductive coating's conductivity.
