PANI-CdO Nanocomposite Thin Films as a Room Temperature Methanol Sensor
A PANI-CdO nanocomposite with 10 wt% CdO outperforms the authors' earlier PANI-only sensor, reaching a room-temperature methanol response of 1580 with fast recovery.

Polymer systems from biodegradable PLLA nanosheets to conducting-polymer (PANI) composites with ZnO or CdO nanoparticles, used as room-temperature gas sensors and wound-healing carriers.

A PANI-CdO nanocomposite with 10 wt% CdO outperforms the authors' earlier PANI-only sensor, reaching a room-temperature methanol response of 1580 with fast recovery.

A PANI-ZnO nanocomposite thin film with 20 wt% ZnO gives the strongest, most selective room-temperature methanol response among several tested loadings, responding in just 7 seconds.

A bio-derived Pebax polymer loaded with just 0.4 wt% carbon nanotubes becomes a sustainable, multi-stage piezoresistive strain sensor that stays stable over 1,000 stretch-release cycles.

Zn-loaded PLLA nanosheets release therapeutic zinc ions steadily over 10-12 hours and show antibacterial activity against E. coli, supporting their use as wound-healing patches.

An Au/ZnO-PVA/CAT/Chitosan biosensor detects hydrogen peroxide with a 9.13 nanomolar detection limit and under 1-second response time, validated directly in human blood serum.
