Hexanal was identified as one of the major volatile gases which are produced in degraded dairy products and wood industries. Therefore, preliminary study on hexanal gas detection with the laboratory scale was carried out in this paper. Electrical testing with chitosan as a sensing material to sense hexanal gas in low concentration was carried out at room temperature. Chitosan sensor was fabricated by using electrochemical deposition technique to form active sensing layer. The response of the chitosan film sensor (CFS) towards hexanal was tested via electrical testing by exposing different hexanal concentrations ranging between 20 ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm, and 300 ppm using air as a carrier gas. Sensing properties of the CFS toward hexanal exposure including responsibility, recovery, repeatability, stability, and selectively were studied. Overall, our result suggested that hexanal sensor based on chitosan was able to perform well at room temperature demonstrated by good response, good recovery, good repeatability, good stability, and good selectively. This simple and low cost sensor has high potential to be utilized in early quality degradation detection in dairy products and can be used to monitor the level of hexanal exposure in wood industries.

ABSTRACTSingle crystal silicon carbide (SiC) has such excellent physical, chemical, and electronic properties that SiC based semiconductor electronics can operate at temperatures in excess of 600°C well beyond the high temperature limit for Si based semiconductor devices. SiC semiconductor devices have been demonstrated to be operable at temperatures as high as 600°C, but only in a probe-station environment partially because suitable packaging technology for high temperature (500°C and beyond) devices is still in development. One of the core technologies necessary for high temperature electronic packaging is semiconductor die-attach with low and stable electrical resistance. This paper discusses a low resistance die-attach method and the results of testing carried out at both room temperature and 500°C in air. A 1 mm2 SiC Schottky diode die was attached to aluminum nitride (AlN) and 96% pure alumina ceramic substrates using precious metal based thick-film material. The attached test die using this scheme survived both electronically and mechanically performance and stability tests at 500°C in oxidizing environment of air for 550 hours. The upper limit of electrical resistance of the die-attach interface estimated by forward I-V curves of an attached diode before and during heat treatment indicated stable and low attach-resistance at both room-temperature and 500°C over the entire 550 hours test period. The future durability tests are also discussed.

Polymer conductive filler composites are believed to be promising materials for flexible force sensor manufacture. Polyisoprene various carbon allotrope hybrid composites were made and their piezoresistive properties depending on the two type’s filler concentration and their ratio have been determined. Electrical resistance relaxations of hybrid composites at constant pressure in room temperature were determined as well. Experimental data of resistance relaxation was analyzed and fitted similarly to stress relaxation of polymers at constant pressure.

SUMMARY1. Nickel and the Heusler alloy give “sensitive states” of nearly 2 and about 5 per cent. respectively for a magnetising field of 8 C.G.S. units.2. Steel wire specimens dropped vertically on a stone slab from a height of 1 metre showed a reduction of 37 per cent, in the “sensitive state” for a single fall, 49 per cent, for three falls, 62 per cent, for ten falls, and 73 per cent, for fifty falls.3. After the “sensitive state” has been removed from a specimen by the process of demagnetising by reversals, it cannot be completely restored by reannealing. That is, the specimens exhibit a fatigue effect.4. In the case of one variety of steel, the “sensitive state” had been reduced to less than one-half its original value after seven annealings, and to one-fifth after seventeen.5. No recovery from the fatigue condition was observed in specimens which had been laid aside for fifty-four days.6. Repeated annealings without intermediate magnetic testing showed neither an augmentation of the “sensitive state” nor a fatigue effect.7. Specimens demagnetised at −190° C., heated to room temperature, and cooled again to −190° C., showed a small “sensitive state” at that temperature.8. Larger effects were induced by heating from −190° C. to 15° C., or by cooling from 15° C. to −190° C.9. A “sensitive state” could be induced by any variation of temperature, but not by exposure to a steady temperature, either high or low. The effect is associated solely with change of temperature.10. The amount of “sensitive state” induced by equal temperature alterations varies with the position of the range on the temperature scale and with the material.11. The change from the “sensitive” to the normal condition is unaccompanied by any appreciable change in the specific electrical resistance or elastic constants of the material.

Abstract Metal oxide semiconductors have been widely used in the eld of gas sensor study. Various researches are being done to improve the sensitivity of the sensing material for applications like breath analyzers. In this work, a theoretical investigation and analysis of the n- type metal oxide for Acetone gas detection are carried out. The rate of change of resistance of the sensing material with respect to the change in the concentration of the target gas is analyzed. Acetone being a reducing gas the resistance was found to decrease for n-type material. The simulations were done using COMSOL Multiphysics and results showed that the resistance of the sensing layer varies with the concentration of the target gas. Also, the performance analysis of sensors has been compared with the experimental results. Further, we have also derived a mathematical expression connecting the relationship between the concentration of gas and the rate of change of resistance. The resistance change is observed to be proportional to the target gas concentration. A signal conditioning circuit was also designed for providing a user-friendly interface for monitoring the gas concentration. The simulation of the signal conditioning circuit was done using Proteus Design Suite. This work will aid researchers to define and predict the behaviour of gas sensors.

AbstractThe main characteristics that a sensor must possess for trace gas detection and pollution monitoring are high sensitivity, high selectivity and the capability to perform in situ measurements. The photacoustic Helmholtz sensor developed in Reims, used in conjunction with powerful Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), fulfils all these requirements. The best cell response is # 1200 V W−1 cm and the corresponding ultimate sensitivity is j 3.3 × 10−10 W cm−11 Hz−11/2. This efficient sensor is used with mid-infrared QCLs from Alpes Lasers to reach the strong fundamental absorption bands of some atmospheric gases. A first cryogenic QCL emitting at 7.9 μm demonstrates the detection of methane in air with a detection limit of 3 ppb. A detection limit of 20 ppb of NO in air is demonstrated using another cryogenic QCL emitting in the 5.4 μm region. Real in-situ measurements can be achieved only with room-temperature QCLs. A room-temperature QCL emitting in the 7.9 μm region demonstrates the simultaneous detection of methane and nitrous oxide in air (17 and 7 ppb detection limit, respectively). All these reliable measurements allow the estimated detection limit for various atmospheric gases using quantum cascade lasers to be obtained. Each gas absorbing in the infrared may be detected at a detection limit in the ppb or low-ppb range.
