A disposable biosensor was fabricated by employing a pH-sensitive copolymerized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) / acrylic acid gel with immobilized glucose oxidase. When the gel makes contact with a sample solution containing glucose, the pH of the gel decreases as a result of the enzymatic reaction inducing the collapse of the gel. The volume change of the gel could be converted into the movement of a dye solution in a flow channel faithfully with the help of a silicone rubber diaphragm. By using a gel of 2 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness, the response time was shortened to the order of several minutes. The response time to the shrinking change depended upon the activity of the enzyme and the concentration of glucose, although the final ratio of shrinkage settled approximately around the same value irrespective of their concentration. The transient stage could be used for sensing. Clear dependence of the length of the dye solution on the concentration of glucose was observed. By measuring the change at a predetermined time, glucose concentration could be measured. The lower detection limit was 200 μM when the measurement time was 10 min. The sensor will be an ultimate style of a disposable sensor, which does not need any external
circuits or spectroscopic procedures for detection.

New needle type glucose oxidase immobilized glucose sensors were prepared by the electropolymerization of 1-(6-D-gluconamidohexyl) pyrrole (GHP) on the platinum wire electrode precoated with the solution of GHP, polydimethylsiloxane, and Nafion. In vitro measurement was performed in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing NaCl and bovine serum at 40C.
The response current obtained in bovine serum was similar with that in phosphate buffer solution. This indicated that the sensor itself have excellent biocompatibility and the adsorption of protein was hardly prevented. Therefore, the outer coating of biocompatible film such as polyurethane, was not essential. In vivo measurement was performed using rats under gas anesthesia of isoflurane. The sensor was implanted in subcutaneous tissue. After the intraperitoneal injection of glucose (30% solution, 1.0 g kg-1 body weight), the sensor response increased and behaved good agreement with the blood glucose level measured in vitro ith glucose meter.

INTEGRATED ELECTROCHEMICAL FLUID TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATION

Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8573

A microfluidic system was constructed by integrating on-chip micro pumps and check valves that function by means of a hydrogen bubble generated or extinguished electrochemically. Essential elements consisted of thin-film three-electrode systems with platinum black working electrodes. Micro flow channels and containers for electrolyte solutions were formed on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. The growth and shrinkage of the bubble were controlled reproducibly by setting the working electrode potential at a constant value. The elastic nature of the bubble clogged in a valve compartment in the middle of a flow channel hindered the passage of the solution effectively. The bubble was also effective in separating two different solutions. By making the valves open and close cooperatively, a solution could be introduced into the system and transported in the flow channel. When two dye solutions were transported and merged in a flow channel, sheath flows were observed reflecting low Reynolds number. As a model system, two solutions containing luciferin and luciferase were introduced separately, transported, and mixed. Chemiluminescence originating from the enzymatic reaction was observed.

For the sensitive detection of minute samples of analytes using immobilised biomolecules, microfluidic systems including micro and nano electrodes were fabricated and electrochemically characterised. Enzymes were immobilised on electrodeposited polymers via covalent bonding of molecular recognizing mot ifs. The polymer films were characterised at each step using XPS, FT-IR and electrochemical methods in order to investigate non-specific and specific p rotein binding at both sensor surface and those of other system components. The immobilised enzyme activity was estimated using scanning electrochemica l microscopy. Results are presented that demonstrate the success of this me thod in allowing us to optimise both electrodeposited polymer surface coatin gs designed to inhibit non-specific adsorption and strategies designed to sp ecifically immobilise various enzymes (e.g. via avidin-biotin constructs).

A micro Severinghaus-type carbon dioxide electrode which can be incorporated in a syringe needle or a catheter was fabricated for in vivo monitoring of carbon dioxide. The chip was 0.3 mm wide and 60 mm long. The patterns of an iridium oxide indicator electrode and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode were formed and stacked on a polyimide substrate. The electrolyte layer was formed by casting a 20wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone solution containing 3 M KCl dissolved in 20 mM NaHCO3 solution. A silicone rubber gas-permeable membrane was formed to cover the entire structure except for the pads. A peculiar feature of the electrode is its Ag/AgCl reference electrode whose AgCl layer is grown at a small constant current during the use of the electrode. The reference electrode could maintain an expected potential for longer than 24h. Clear response curves were obtained with a 90% response time of 2 min. Calibration curves were linear in the clinically important range of pCO2 with a slope of 98 mV/decade at 37℃.

Boron doped-diamond (BDD) electrode was examined for the electrochemical oxidation of underivatized-nucleic acids in terms of single stranded (ss-) or double stranded (ds-) DNA. As-deposited diamond film with predominantly H-terminated surface has shown the superiority over O-terminated diamond in terms of sensitivity. Linear calibration result shows linearity of the
current with concentration was observed in the range 1-8 ppm at as-deposited BDD. The detection limits (S/N =3) of 5.2 and 10 ng/mL for adenine or guanine residue in ss-DNA, respectively, and 3.7 and 10 ng/mL for adenine and guanine residue in ds-DNA, respectively. This work shows promising use of BDD for direct detection of nucleic acids.

Pt-modified highly boron-doped diamond microfiber (BDDMF) electrodes have been used for the detection of H2O2. Deposition conditions for Pt were optimized. BSA/OPPy/Pt-modified BDDMF electrodes were used for continuous interference-free H2O2 monitoring. Amperometric measurements of H2O2 performed at 0.6 V gave a linear calibration curves in the range of 100 nM
to 10 mM, with an RSD of 0.84% for 5 injections of 0.1 mM H2O2. LOD for H2O2 detection was 30 nM (S/N = 3). The electrodes have shown good stability during 1-month period of measurements with perfect suppression of AA as interfering compounds.

We report here a novel anticancer drug sensitivity assay applicable for tumors removed from in vivo mammalians. In vivo- and in vitro- cultured human promyelecytic leukemia cell line (Hl-60) cells were embedded in a small volume of collagen-gel matrix and entrapped in a silicon microstructure. For the in vivo- cultured HL-60, the cells were inoculated subcutaneously in SCID mice and removed 31 days after the inoculation. Respiration activity of the cell-collagen mixture on the silicon chip was monitored using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The proliferation rate of HL-60 in collagen-gel was smaller than that cultured in flask, and conformed to that in mice. The sensitivity for cisplatin and etoposide of HL-60 removed from SCID mice was in good agreement with that cultured in flask. Our results suggest that the SECM-based assay is appropriate for biopsy specimens with relatively short-time evaluation.

We have studied on a novel detection method of DNA using polypyrrole (PPy) / DNA film. PPy doped with a single-strand DNA (12 mer) as a capture was synthesized by potentiostatic electrolysis onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) electrode. Although the hybridization with the complementary DNA strand led to the decrease in the resonance requency of the film, the frequency change was unresponsive and unstable. To improve the sensitivity of the measurement, the complementary 3’-thiol substituted single-strand DNA (12 mer) was tagged with Au particle (50 nm). Moreover, we have also confirmed by imaging the Au colloid modified with complementary DNA strands bound on the film through the hybridization.

Micropatterned cardiac tissue model was prepared by microcontact printing (μCP), and the localized chemical stimulation was applied to the cellular pattern by using multiple laminar flows. An inhibitor of gap junctional communication, 1-octanol, inactivated only the targeted part of cardiomyocytes, while the others remained the activity to excite spontaneously and synchronously. Our method has an important advantage that experimental system is simple and understandable since both of cells and flows have well-defined pattern. This research was carried out with the objective of developing a bioassay system based on a cellular network.

A novel regeneration method of apoenzyme, i.e. metal-free enzyme, for determination of heavy metal ions was investigated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) from Escherichia coli was covalently immobilized onto porous glass beads (CPG) and then, packed into a small polymer column. The column was mounted in a water-jacketed holder (303 K). Two pieces of metal tubings as a joint were connected with the inlet and the outlet of the column, respectively. The main part of the flow-injection system was assembled with the enzyme-packed column and a flow-through photometric device. Tris-HCl buffer (0.1 M, pH 8.0, 1.0 M NaCl, 0.1 uM citrate) as the carrier solution was successively pumped into the system. The catalytic activity of the column was assessed by injecting 0.1 mL of 2.0 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pH 8.0) as a substrate. Removal of zinc(II) ions from the enzymes immobilized onto the glass beads was made by applying constant current (2.0 mA, 5 min) between the joints under acidic onditions (50 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.5)). Subsequent injection of the substrate solution showed significant decrease in absorbance at 405 nm in the effluents from the column. Subsequent injection of 1.0 mM standard zinc(II) ions into the system exhibited sufficient recovery of the column activity. Reversible variations in the enzyme activity between the regeneration and the reactivation processes could be observed. Thus, determination of zinc(II) ions in nanomolar levels was demonstrated.

Quality of four types of Japanese sake is estimated using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) taste sensor and a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor. The SPR taste sensor responds to quality change of Japanese sake such as sweetness and dry. On the other hand, QCM odor sensor responds to the alcohol content of Japanese sake. It is found that the discrimination of four types of Japanese sake can be possible by plotting the output of QCM odor sensor as a function of output of SPR taste sensor.

Plants are affected by various kinds of environmental factors and artificial deed, and its bioelectric potential is changed. In this study, Schefflera arboricola was adopted as a subjective plant and the potential change among the leaves was input into a mobile computer through a control circuit including an A-D converter. The characteristics were analyzed using a statistical method. In the method, the potential characteristics were squared and its square root characteristics vpsq were introduced. The relationship of the room temperature tr and vpsq was analyzed and FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) analysis was also used. As for the results, It was obvious that vpsq became lower as the environmental temperature tr was higher. When a potted plant close to the subjective plant was sprinkled, the potential was changed largely and also the subject was sprinkled. The principal frequency component at the sprinkling was 1[Hz] from the FFT analysis.

Silver thin layer was electrochemically deposited on a Au-coated glass plate, and its growth was evaluated with an SPR sensor. It was found that the silver deposited plates exhibited broad absorbance in the SPR curves. The absorptions of the two silver deposited plates with different electroplating solution were appeared at different angles. These observations are probably originated from the surface roughness of the electroplated silvers.

A sensor-chip-module integrated portable miniature SPR sensor is developed to determine the concentration of 2-hydroxybiphenyl (HBP) by monitoring the immunoreaction between the antibody against HBP (anti-HBP Ab) and the HBP-protein conjugate immobilized on sensor chip that could be inhibited by the presence of HBP in the analyte solution. The portable immunosensor is found to detect HBP sensitively in the concentration range of 0.1 ? 1000 ppb with a response time of ca. 15 min. It detects HBP selectively and shows no cross-sensitivity to the presence of benzo(a)pyrene and anthracene. The SPR sensor chip is found to be reusable for several times with a negligible decrease in the sensor performance.

SPR sensor based on a hetero-core fiber optic was fabricated by depositing gold and/or silver film on surface of a hetero-core portion of the fiber. Single mode fiber of 2 - 3 cm was inserted in a multi mode fiber. Then metal film was formed on the surface of the hetero-core portion by using sputtering method. The fiber was rotated under RF-sputtering. SEM images show that the metal film on the fiber surface was uniform. The propagation loss spectra of the metal-coated fiber immersed in glycerine/water solution was measured. According to increasing of refractive index of the solution, a shift in the resonance wavelength was observed.

Chemical Sensing Based on Surface Structure Changes of Optical Waveguides

Graduate School of Environment and Information Sciences, Yokohama National University

Chemical sensing techniques based on optical waveguides are discussed. Evanescent wave absorption; most of the guided lightwave energy is located in the guided layer, and hence, its sensitivity remains relatively small although the use of a thin layer of high index material (e.g., TiO2) largely improves this disadvantage. Phase change; appropriate thickness of TiO2 gives a condition where a TE mode and a TM mode are guided in different guiding layers, thus, can provide very high sensitivity for refractive index changes. Surface structure change; chemical reactions leading to thickness changes in guiding layers and/or glad layer can be utilized especially when combined with the phase change method.

Simplification of blood plasma osmometer is desired since blood plasma osmometry should be applied to pathological diagnosis for some disease such as dehydration. Then we studied the integration of biosensors for glucose, urea and alkali cations by the use of Light Addressable Potentiometric Sensor (LAPS) in order to predict the osmotic pressure on the blood plasma by simultaneous determination of those analytes. Simultaneous determination between glucose and urea caused decreases of sensor responses. Besides, the glucose sensor using glucokinase was influenced by Na+ and K+ ions concentration. Moreover, the behavior might be used for an alkali cation sensor. These problems should be partly solved by nonlinear regression analysis. Therefore, the nonlinear regression analysis was employed.

The morphology and the diffusive permeability of the nano-ordered thin layer of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) changes by its template, termed "gate effect". We have reported that theophylline is a key component, which causes a change in diffusive permeability of the imprinting of theophylline on copolymer of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate and methacylic acid grafted on indium-tin oxide electrode (Theo-MIP). The gate effect is applicable to chemical sensors. The purpose of the present work is to design of a model capable of describing the gate effect.
The Faradic current of ferrocyanide with the Theo-MIP was measured by cyclic voltammetry. The degree of the gate effect was defined a percent change in the current by imprinting theophylline.
The current of ferrocyanide decreased with increasing pH. Although, currents of ferrocyanide with the Theo-MIP increased in either presence or absence of theophylline, the degree of the gate effect decreased with increasing potassium nitrate concentration. These results indicate that the nano-oredred thin layer of the grafted copolymer is swelled by repulsion among carboxyl groups in a high pH or low ionic strength solution. The thin layer is porous by AFM, and hence the porosity of the layer increased with shrinking of the polymer, and decreases with swelling of the polymer.
The gate effect is due to a variation in the porosity, which is caused by the polymer-shrinking/swelling occurring in rebinding with the template.

Molecular Recognition Engineering Course, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Yamaguchi University,
Ube 755-8611, Japan

The preparation process of a molecularly imprinted overoxidized-polypyrrole film has been studied with the quartz crystal microbalance. The film has been derived from 1- naphthalenesulfonate (1-NS)-doped polypyrrole through overoxidation. The extraction of 1-NS (dedoping) has created a shape-complementary cavity at the surface. The resulting overoxidized-polypyrrole film imprinted with 1-NS exhibited an excellent selectivity to the structural isomer, 1-NS. Aqueous 0.010 M 1-NS showed a frequency decrease of 110 Hz, while 2-NS shows only a negligible change. Thus, the shape-complementary cavity can recognize the difference in the spatial configuration of the sulfonate substituent between 1- and 2- positions.

Aimed at the development of biosensor with long-term stability for urine assay in a toilet, cellulose derivatives having aldehyde and acetyl groups (ACA) have been synthesized, and their application has been tested as the permselective membrane in biosensors based on the detection of hydrogen peroxide. As a result, the ACA membranes show strong adhesion to the base of the sensor chip and high permselectivity for hydrogen peroxide. The membranes with acetylation degree of 2.1-2.3 give the best results. A glucose sensor chip, with ACA and immobilized glucose oxidase membranes formed onto Pt electrode printed on ceramic plate, shows high selectivity to glucose and excellent stability. The ratio of the current from uric acid or ascorbic acid to glucose at the same concentration is less than 6% after 3000 times of assay.

We developed an electrochemical microfluidic sensing device combined with an interdigitated array electrode (IDA) and enzyme modified pre-reactor for highly sensitive and selective detection of catecholamines in blood. We studied two types of catecholamine sensing devices. One device is integrated an IDA electrode with a pre-reactor modified with ascorbate
oxidase on a same chip. The other one consists two devices which are IDA electrode chip and an pre-reactor modified with uricase and catalase. This pre-reactor has a large number of micropillars to increase the conversion efficiency of the acid. We improved selectivity for the catecholamine sensing device against ascorbic acid and uric acid.

An amperometric ADP-sensing bienzyme electrode was prepared by immobilizing pyruvate kinase and pyruvate Oxidase on an electrode coated with an oxygen-permeable poly(dimethylsiloxane) layer. The concentration of ADP (2 mm - 0.4 mM) could be measured from the decrease in the cathodic current at -0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The bienzyme electrode was applied to the determination of creatine kinase; the enzyme activity ( 4 - 1000 U L-1) was determined from the rate of current decrease, which was caused by the production of ADP through the creatine kinase-catalyzed reaction.

We have utilized maleimide pendant polystylene (poly-(4-vinylphenyl)maleimide, PMS) as an enzyme immobilization carrier,
and the enzyme immobilized PMS coated porous carbon materials were combined with ammonia and carbon dioxide electrodes. As enzymes, urease and adenosine deiminase were used and the response characteristics of urea and adenosine sensors have been investigated. The lifetime of the sensors were more than two months and very stable enzyme electrodes could be fabricated. The enzyme immobilization tothispolymer is very simple because the thiol and amine of amino acid residues are reacted directly with maleimide by covalent bond in aqueous solution.

Most phenol derivatives are known as harmful and/or useful compounds. However, when a sample solution contains some different phenol derivatives, a monoenzyme electrode cannot determine them separately. As a solution for this problem, multienzyme systems may be envisaged. In the present work, we used a tyrosinase (TYR) electrode and TYR-peroxidase (POD) bienzyme (MIX) electrodes, because TYR and POD can oxidize catechol derivatives, while their enzymatic selectivities are different. Moreover, MIX electrodes with different component of enzymes exhibited different sensitivities to each substrate. By using a TYR electrode and two different MIX electrodes with different POD amounts, simultaneous determination of catechol, p-cresol, and m-cresol (or phenol) was possible.

A fluorometric flow-injection analysis (FIA) system with an acid urease column as a recognition element was developed and applied to determination of trace urea. An acid urease was covalently immobilized onto porous glass beads with controlled pore size and then, packed into a small polymer column. The flow-type of the biosensing system was assembled with a sample injection
valve, the immobilized enzyme column, and a flow-through quartz cell attached to a fluorescent spectrophotometer. Fluorometer intensity attributable to fluorescent isoindole derivates generated by coupling with ammonia molecules released in the enzymatic
hydrolysis of urea and orthophthalaldehyde reagents were measured under the conditions of λex = 415 nm and λem = 485 nm. A wide, linear relationship was obtained between the concentration of urea (1.0 - 100 uM) and the change in fluorescent intensity. The monitoring wasn’t affected by ethanol and various amino acids contained in rice wine. This FIA system presented
highly sensitive, highly selective and convenient analysis of urea in alcoholic beverages.

Plastic Formed Carbon (PFC) electrode was used as transducer for amperometric biosensor, on which maleimide-pendant polystylene [poly-vinylphenyl)maleimide, PMS] was coated as enzyme immobilization layer. γ-Aminopropyl-triethoxy silane (APTES)-activated PFC electrode is suitable for MPS-coating for rapid electron transfer of catechol and qiunone.
Tyrosinase was selected as a model enzyme for detection of catechol compounds. Based on the rapid electron transfer with o-quinone produced by tyrosinase-catalyzed reaction, highly sensitive catechol sensor could be developed. Calibration curve of catechol is linear from 1 × 10-8M to 2 × 10-5M catechol with the detection limit of 5×10-9 M.

A novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system was developed for the trace analysis of a peptide hormone, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). For the high sensitive determination of labeled enzyme activity at ELISA, we have utilized an adsorptive stripping voltammetric method. Thiocholine, which was produced through the reaction catalyzed by the labeled enzyme,
acetylcholinesterase, was chemisorbed on a silver electrode, and then was electrochemically desorbed in an alkaline solution. The electrical charge passed through the desorption process was proportional to the number of adsorbed thiocholine molecules on the silver electrode, hence to the acetylcholinesterase activity. Using competitive immunoreaction of antigen and antibody-enzyme conjugate, we demonstrated that the BNP could be determined in the concentration range from 20 to 100 ppb.

A field effect transistor (FET) device fitted with a WO3 layer over the gate area exhibited almost ideal FET behavior at 150 and 180℃ in air containing various concentrations of NO2. Under the conditions of fixed source-drain voltage (3.0 V) and fixed drain current (450 μA), the gate-source voltage (VGS) was found to increase linearly with an increase in the logarithm of NO2 concentration over the range of several tens to 700 ppb NO2, proving its potentiality to work as an environmental NO2 sensor.
However the times of 90%-response and -recovery to switching-on and -off 50 ppb NO2 were as long as 10 and 25 min even at 180℃, respectively. Cross sensitivity tests revealed that the device was totally insensitive to CO2, but rather sensitive to NO. Water vapor was found to give a serious disturbance to the device: The VGS response to NO2 as well as its dependence on NO2 concentration changed with a change in relative humidity.

The NASICON (Na3Zr2Si2PO12)-based electrochemical device attached with a metal oxide (ITO: indium tin oxide) sensing electrode and a metal carbonate auxiliary phase (NaHCO3 or Na2CO3) responded well to CO2 at room temperature (30 oC) under fixed humidity conditions. With a change in relative humidity, however, the Nernstian correlation between EMF and CO2 concentration shifted up or down seriously. It was tried to reduce this humidity dependence by incorporating novel auxiliary phases. Although incorporation of Li2CO3 was fairly effective, that of Li2CO3-BaCO3 binary carbonates was found to be very effective in reducing the humidity dependence. With Li2CO3-BaCO3 (1:2 in molar ratio), the Nernstian correlation was almost independent of a change in relative humidity (RH) between 30 and 70 %. Based on this finding, a planar type CO2 sensor was
also fabricated, which could work stably under the conditions of 30 %RH and above. A CO2 sensing mechanism, facilitated by the presence of physisorbed water, was proposed.

Amperometric hydrocarbon sensor using Ni doped LaGaO3 based oxide was investigated and it was found that the sensitivity of the sensor using Ni doped LaGaO3 for electrolyte was much improved by improving surface catalyst activity. In this study, effects of cathode on the sensitivity was first investigated and it was found that La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 gives much higher sensitivity that that of La0.6Sr0.4CoO3. On the other hand, sensitivity to hydrocarbon was much improved by improving the anode catalyst activity. In particular, it was found that the addition of small amount of Fe added for Pt anode is effective for increasing sensor sensitivity and the developed sensor is highly selective to C3H6 and hardly dependent on O2 concentration.

A compact NO2 sensing device fabricated based on NASICON (Na+ conductor) and NaNO2 was operated at 150℃ in amperometric mode for monitoring ambient air. In order to improve the long-term stability of the sensor, a voltage of −150 mV was applied in pulses with an electric relay between the sensing electrode and the reference electrode. The voltage-pulse period was set to 8 s, followed by the open-circuit condition for 40 s, in each operation cycle. The data-acquisition timing was fixed at 5 s just after starting each pulse. The field-test data collected at a traffic intersection in Tokyo has confirmed that the performance of the present NO2 sensor is comparable to that of a commercial chemiluminescence NOx analyzer with a limited error over the tested period of 6 months.

We developed a disk-type zirconia oxygen sensor with an internal reference using the equilibrium oxygen pressure of Pd-PdO. The oxygen pressure dependence of the sensor emfs was investigated at about 450 ℃. Emfs of the sensor were a little lower than those calculated from the literature formation energy of PdO. However, the sensor worked well at low oxygen pressures until 2×10-6 atm. The response of the sensor emfs was investigated on an abrupt change of oxygen pressure using a zirconia oxygen pump. It took about 12 s to detect 90% of pulse-injected oxygen amount. For a step-functional injection of oxygen, the sensor detected oxygen pressures almost at 100% efficiency. It was ascertained that the sensor was very effective for low oxygen pressure use.

The electrode reaction properties of halogen liberated from halide ion / halate ion solution by addition of hydrogen ion has been utilized for the detection of acidic gases. In this study, we have compared both types of sensors using Br-/BrO3- and

The effect of crosslinking structure of a sensing film on the drift phenomenon of capacitive-type humidity sensors in a hot and humid atmosphere was investigated. By use of the crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) with divinyl benzene, the irreversible increase of water sorption ability by aging the film in a 40。C and 90%RH atmosphere was depressed. This was because the swelling of the sensing film was prevented by introducing the crosslinking structure. The depression of the drift of the water sorption ability resulted in the depression of the sensor capacitance.

H2 sensing properties of diode-type M/TiO2 sensors (M=Pd, Pt or Au), equipped with the noble metal electrodes on the surface of the TiO2 film prepared by anodic oxidation of Ti plate, were investigated at 250℃ in air and N2 atmosphere. Among these sensors fabricated, Pd/TiO2 exhibited the highest H2 sensitivity, and the sensivitity in N2 was more than 103 times as high as that in air, indicating that the sensitivity was highly dependent on the O2 concentration. The sensitivity in N2 was nonlinearly dependent on the H2 concentration (5 ppm - 0.8%), probably due to phase transition of Pd induced by dissolution of hydrogen. The sensitivity to other inflammable gases (CH4 and C3H8) was neligibly small, except for C4H10.

The effect of matrix polymers on the selectivity of gas sensors based on polyaniline (PANI) blend films was investigated. Three kinds of matrix polymers, PMMA, PSt, and PVP were used for this purpose. It was shown that gas sorption properties of matrix polymers affected the sensitivity of the sensor using the PANI blend film. Since PVP highly sorbed ethanol vapor and water vapor, the sensitivity of the sensor using PANI-PVP blend film for these gases was the highest among the sensors tested. On the other hand, all blend films were less sensitive to the detection of NH3 than single PANI film without matrix polymer because of low NH3 sorption capacity of the matrix polymers.

Among the 5 kinds of single oxide tested with sintered block type devices, SnO2 and In2O3 were the most sensitive to C2H4O, though the sensitivity appeared to be still far from meeting the requested one, i.e. being capable of detecting 0.1 ppm C2H4O in
air. In an attempt to improve the sensitivity, a thin film device using SnO2 was fabricated from a colloidal dispersion of SnO2 by a spin coating method. The thin film device was more sensitive to C2H4O, giving fairly large sensor response to 5g〜50 ppm C2H4O in air at 350℃. However, it still needed further improvements in sensitivity and rate of recovery.

A hydrogen gas sensor using thermoelectric Li-doped NiO thin film with platinum catalyst film on the half of its surface was fabricated and this thin film sensor has strong adhesion on the substrate. When this sensor is exposed to air mixed with the hydrogen gas, catalytic reaction heats up the platinum-coated surface, and then thermoelectric voltage appears across the hot and cold region of the oxide film. The Li doped NiO thin film was deposited by r.f. sputtering method on three different substrates and followed by thermal annealing.

The aim of this work is the synthesis and characterization of CO gas optical sensing properties of SiO2 sol-gel glass films doped with NiO nanocrystals and multilayered NiO/SiO2 nanocomposites prepared with alternative deposition of laser ablated NiO nanoparticles, and SiO2 layers deposited by laser ablation and/or sputtering. Various structures (number of layers, NiO particle size, particle number density, etc.) in nanocomposites were obtained by changing the deposition conditions. Optical transmittance of all the sol-gel films was higher in 1%CO/N2 gas than in air in the wavelength range from 300 to 800 nm. The differential transmittance after CO exposure was the highest for the light within 400-500 nm range. Gas sensitivity increased with increasing NiO concentration. Comparison of the gas sensing properties of the sol-gel and laser ablated films is also reported.

SnO2-based thin film was prepared using R.F. induction plasma spray method. This paper presents results from a study on the influence of process parameters and annealing temperature on the physical properties of SnO2 gas sensor. The effect of process parameters and annealing temperature on the physical properties of SnO2 thin films were examined by XRD, SEM method. Meanwhile, in order to investigate the gas sensing properties, our sensor films was used to detect NO2 gas at a concentration from 20 ppb to 200 ppb, and the results shows that our gas sensors have achieved highly sensitive to low NO2 gas detection down to 20 ppb with the response and recovery time less than several minutes.

The effects of microstructure (WO3 crystallite size and film thickness) on NO2 sensing properties were investigated for WO3 thin film sensors equipped with Au microelectrodes. The effect of crystallite size for thin WO3 sensors was explained with conventional model. On the other hand, the high sensitivity NO2 sensor was obtained due to unique thickness effect. For
the sensors using WO3 powders calcined at 300-400 ℃ (small crystallite), th e sensitivity to dilute NO2 had a maximum at optimal thickness. The optimal thicknesses were 7 and 25 μm for 400 and 300 ℃ sensors, respective ly. The sensitivity (Rg/Ra) to 0.02-0.05 ppm NO2 ranged from 6.5 to 45 for these sensors, suggesting the possibility of environmental NO2 monitoring.
Such a behavior was not observed for the sensors having large crystallite (calcination temperature : 600-850 ℃).

We have developed a portable sensor for the detection and identification of aromatic volatile organic compound (VOC) gases, namely benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX), which are air pollutants, by assembling two microfluidic devices, a concentration cell and a detection cell, and peripheral devices. In this paper, we report the characteristics of our BTX gas sensor, which we studied in order to optimize the operating conditions. We optimize the total accumulation time required for spectral measurement, the gas sampling time, the arrangement of the two microfluidic devices, and we discuss the effect of cell integration without a connection tube between the concentration and detection cells. We also discuss the remaining problems, namely, the effects of temperature as regards obtaining a fast and sharp response, and then propose a device design that may improve the detection limit.

A fiber-optic hydrogen gas sensor using platinum-supported tungsten trioxide (Pt/WO3) was characterized. This sensor utilizes the absorption of the evanescent field interation in the clad of Pt/WO3 thin film which was prepared by sol-gel process, coated on a silica core. The sensor showed fast response to 1 vol.% H2 balanced with nitrogen and the sensitivity was quite high at room temperature. This resulted from te color change in cladding WO3 region with the formation of tungsten bronze. After the exposure to CO or NH3 gas, the sensing characteristics were still retained. The OTDR trace considerably changed upon the exposure to hydrogen. The sensor has the potential for distributed measurement to detect the location of hydrogen leakage points.
