Abstract

“Electronic noses” are devices which consist of electronic-chemical sensors with specificity capable of recognizing simple or complex gas mixtures. The recent advances in sensor devices have allowed the development of new devices for various applications in many technological fields. This chapter describes the basic sensor design, technology, and mechanism implemented in the development of E-nose sensor and main characteristics of the sensors. The current state-of-the-art of sensors used in the development of E-nose sensor analysis system is also discussed.
