Popis: In the present work we report the use of regioregular poly(3-hexyltiophene) polymer (RR-P3HT) as a resistive sensor for the detection of chemical nerve agent simulant, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). The electrical response to DMMP vapour of RR-P3HT film deposited on ceramic (Al2O3) substrate in the room temperature was investigated. Results show that studied material is sensitive to DMMP trace amounts and selective against acetone and methanol. It also exhibits fast response and recovery times, repeatability and short-term stability.
