Detecting volatile organic compounds using a resonant microcantilever-based system
Résumé
This paper presents a system based on an array of eight micro-cantilevers for volatile organic compounds (VOC) detection. Sensors based on a micromechanical array of silicon and diamond cantilevers are sensitized for the detection of analytes using polymer coatings. Connections to the sensors are not permanent and they can be easily changed for another application or for maintenance. Detections of VOCs are demonstrated.
