Abstract

In the field of food safety, sensors are widely used for the detection and determination of a wide variety of volatile compounds. This work presents the synthesis of a number of polyaniline analog polymers and the study of their properties as such sensors. In the course of the work, the design and preparation of carriers for polymers with sensor properties was carried out and, based on it, a new method for measuring and recording changes in the electrical conductivity of insoluble polymers in the presence of volatile substances was developed. The applicability of the developed method was verified.
