Lw. Moore et al., SURFACE-ACOUSTIC-WAVE CHEMICAL MICROSENSORS BASED ON COVALENTLY BOUNDSELF-ASSEMBLED HOST MONOLAYERS, Advanced materials, 7(8), 1995, pp. 729-731
Communication: Novel asymmetric cyclodextrin derivatives have been syn
thesized. The materials form self-assembled host monolayer thin films
under the action of silane coupling reagents. Ultrasensitive (low-ppm)
sensors for volatile organic compounds have been developed based on t
hese and related materials, and it is suggested that pattern recogniti
on with an array of such sensors could be a feasible approach to the i
dentification of a particular organic material.
