Flexible carbon nanotube membrane sensory system: a generic platform

Multi-walled carbon nanotube membrane as obtained from soft lithography-mediated selective chemical-vapor deposition template approach has been successfully integrated with flexible elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane framework to fabricate microsensing devices. Two proof-of-concept experiments, namely high-sensitivity chemical gas sensing and electrochemical detection have been performed to demonstrate its potential as a useful generic platform for general purposes sensory system.
