title: Forced assembly of water-dispersible carbon nanotubes trapped in paper for cheap gas sensors.
abstract: A versatile and readily scalable approach to fabricate a cheap and sensitive paper gas sensor is described. Chemically acidified single-walled carbon nanotubes are assembled in paper, forming continuous sensing arrays with a low detection limit and high detection selectivity for ammonia gas.
