Abstract
A chemiresistive material based on carbon nanotubes wrapped with a calixarene-substituted polythiophene displays a selective and sensitive response to xylene isomers, as demonstrated by conductance changes, quartz crystal microbalance, and fluorescence studies. This demonstrates the promise of low-cost, real-time sensors using host-guest chem. [on SciFinder(R)]
