Abstract
Thick film technology is one of the major technologies used for gas sensor fabrication. The ability to form a gas sensing layer with a required composition and porosity makes it possible to design gas sensors with high operating characteristics. This chapter gives a short description of the materials which can be applied in this technology for preparing various pastes used to fabricate sensing layers and electrodes. The chapter includes 2 figures, 2 tables, and 18 references.
