Abstract
As a follow-up of previous work on a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) senso r for nerve agents, irreversible response effects have been studied in more detail. Surface analytical studies indicated that degradation pr oducts are responsible for the effects observed. In addition it was tr ied to explore these effects for the development of a nerve agent dosi meter. Experiments were conducted to test the performance of a SAW sen sor coated with La(III) 2-bis(carboxymethyl)amino hexadecanoic acid. T he experiments revealed that many improvements must be made especially with respect to sensitivity and linear response behaviour. (C) 1997 E lsevier Science S.A.
