Abstract

In this paper we present an investigation on UV radiation on organic-inorganic blend made from conductive polymer (regio-regular poly(3-hexyltiophene) (rr-P3HT) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterial, which was used as a sensing layer for chemoresistor structure. The study showed that UV radiation has a significant impact on the dynamics of the response of the sensor being studied, which can be a significant element to improve the operation of such sensors at room temperature.
