Abstract
Production of high-quality materials suitable for gas sensors is one of the most important tasks of modern materials science. However, there are many various materials which can be used in gas sensor design. The possible differences in the physical-chemical properties of the materials are also great. This vast amount of variation indicates that it is impossible to produce such a wide range of materials using just one method. Therefore, for preparing gas sensor materials with required properties one should use various technologies such as ceramic, thick film, planar and thin film technologies. Present chapter describes these technologies as well as methods used in these technologies, and analyzes their advantages and disadvantages. Methods of polymer synthesis, polymer film fabrication and methods of film deposition on fibers are also discussed. Chapter includes 18 figures, 11 Tables and 183 references.
