Abstract
A quantum dot-polymer nanocomposite sensor array for chemical vapor sensing includes plurality of sensors respectively formed by different nanocomposite films. Each nanocomposite film is formed by a plurality of QDs and a polymer solution made from a polymer and a corresponding solvent. The plurality of sensors are disposed on a substrate for impingement by an excitation light source. Fluorescence emission intensity of the sensors is measured for a preselected duration of time and then the sensors are placed into contact with a chemical vapor. The changes in fluorescence emission intensity for all sensors are detected over time and the combined changes in fluorescence are compared to establish a unique combined response for each target chemical vapor. Using this unique combined response from a sensor array, target chemical vapor can be detected, classified, and identified.
