Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been coated with different organic polymers. Their sensitivities and selectivities towards gaseous solvents such as water, methanol and automotive fuel in dry air are determined. Four sensors are combined to form an array and a pattern-recognition technique (

✦ Synopsis
The potential ability of a bulk acoustic wave device oscillating in a thickness shear mode (BAW/TSM) chemically modified with various compounds (4-amino-antipyrine, poly(viny1 pyrrolidone), Carbowax-20M, Triton X-100) for selective binding and assay of phenol compounds in the vapour phase has been investigated. The sensor was tested in a continuous flow system. The highest sensitivity was achieved with 4-amino-antipyrine as coating. It was estimated that the maximal frequency response was about 100 Hz for 20 pg of coating and for a phenol concentration of 0.05 mg drne3 in air. The frequency response of the sensor to various phenol derivatives was correlated with adsorption and absorption during a dissolution process onto the surface of the coating sensor.
