Sensing properties of chitosan and chitosan-roselle film sensors on toluene concentrations detection

This study aims to observe the sensing properties of chitosan sensor (CS) and chitosanroselle sensors (CRSs) on toluene at various concentrations. CRSs were deposited using various chitosan: roselle ratio of 99:1 to 89:11 to find the optimum ratio which exhibit the best electrical properties. Toluen...
