Investigation of Surface-Functionalized CNT-Based Array for Detection of Acetone Vapors

Abstract:

This article provides a theoretical study of the possibility of reacting acetone, a common volatile organic compound (VOC) in human respiration, with carbon nanotubes modified with functional groups - carboxyl and amine. Analysis of efficiency of processes of sorption interaction of acetone molecule with modified nanosystem for development of recommendations for creation of perspective highly sensitive sensory devices using modified carbon nanotubes for detection of VOCs contained in human exhalation and diagnostics of various diseases.
