An Exploratory Study on the Potential of Zeolite P-Based Materials for Sensing Applications

The synthesis, characterization and electrical properties of zeolite P-based material have been reported. It was verified that thick films can be deposited on ceramic substrates forming a homogeneous and porous structure, making easy the fabrication of thick film-based sensors. The structural properties of these materials revealed moreover an ideal environment for gas or vapor adsorption. Sensing properties of resistive devices fabricated using zeolite-P/MWCNTs composites have shown a rapid response and high sensitivity to relative humidity.
