Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI)/glycidyl ether of bisphenol A (SU-8) composite film is elaborated in order to detect ammonia gas. These composite films are characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sensitivity to ammonia is measured by optical absorption changes. The ammonia sensing properties of PANI/SU-8 composite films are studied, and then are compared to pure PANI films elaborated by chemical way. Experimental results show that the PANI/SU-8 optical sensor has simultaneously a rapid response to ammonia gas and regenerates easily, that is advantageous compared to pure PANI films.
