Perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) nanowires for sensing ethyl acetate in wine
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
|May 1, 2015
Abstract:
We report the application of perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) nanowires for sensing ethyl acetate. The conductivity of the crystalline nano/microwires increases quickly and selectively in the presence of ethyl acetate vapor, but not with water, acid and alcohol vapors, suggesting that the nanowires of PTCDI may be used for monitoring ethyl acetate during a wine manufacturing process.
