TL;DR: In this article, a gas sensor consisting in polypyrrole films electrochemically deposited on microelectrodes arrays was fabricated using silicon microtechnologies, where the change in conductance of thin polymer layers, due to adsorption of ammonia gas, was used as a sensor signal.

TL;DR: In this paper, electrical and structural characteristics of polypyrrole films were determined using Van der Pauw method, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force MicroScopy (AFM), and Optical Profilometry (OP).

TL;DR: In this article, the recent advances in electrodeposited polymer-based gas sensors are summarized and discussed, and it is shown that the sensing characteristics of polymers can be improved by chemical functionalization, nanostructuration, or mixing with other functional materials to form composites or hybrid materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical properties of polypyrrole films electrodeposited in different aqueous electrolyte solutions including p-toluenesulfonate, naphtalenesulfone, nitrate, tetrafluoroborate, and perchlorate anions were investigated using the Van der Pauw procedure.

TL;DR: The design of a multifunctional organic layer by the rational combination of nanosized regions of two functional polymers is demonstrated, which combines synergetically orthogonal functional properties with a fine control over their spatial distribution.
