An electronic nose that uses an array of 32 polymer-carbon black composite sensors has been developed, trained, and tested. By selecting a variety of chemical functionalities in the polymers used to make sensors, it is possible to construct an array capable of identifying and quantifying a broad range of target compounds, such as alcohols and aromatics, and distinguishing isomers and enantiomers (mirror-image isomers). A model of the interaction between target molecules and the polymer-carbon black composite sensors is under development to aid in selecting the array members and to enable identification of compounds with responses not stored in the analysis library.

电子鼻中的聚合物炭黑复合传感器，用于空气质量监测。

已经开发，培训和测试了使用32个聚合物-炭黑复合传感器阵列的电子鼻。通过在用于制造传感器的聚合物中选择各种化学官能度，可以构建一个阵列，该阵列能够识别和量化各种目标化合物，例如醇和芳烃，并区分异构体和对映异构体（镜像图像异构体） ）。目标分子与聚合物-炭黑复合传感器之间相互作用的模型正在开发中，以帮助选择阵列成员，并能够识别具有未存储在分析库中的响应的化合物。
