Publication of scientific paper in the top journal of physical chemistry where we report high sensitivity and potential for detection of organic vapours with plasma synthesized carbon nanowalls. The paper presents the plasma synthesis of carbon nanowalls with different spacing and their application in organic vapour sensing. We are the first to report improved sensitivity and selective detection of 2D carbon nanowalls.

The paper describes the preparation of dense arrays of gold-supported silver nanowires of about 100 nm in diameter grown directly in the channels of nanoporous aluminium oxide for the immobilisation and retention of proteins. Moreover, we demonstrate also that additional plasma treatment leads to control of nanowire morphology and retention of proteins due to plasma effect.

The paper reports on enhanced sensitivity of industrially important polyaniline for detection of organic vapours from amides. The improved sensitivity was achieved after plasma treatment, which introduced a cyclic transition state between functional groups introduced and urea as a model molecule. With this, the sensitivity for detection of molecules was improved for 2,4-times.

The paper reports on detection of volatile organic compounds by multiwall carbon nanotube networks or the nanotubes functionalized by n-butylamine, which were deposited on polyurethane supporting electrospinned non-woven membrane. The results show that the sensing of volatile organic compounds by functionalized nanotubes considerably increases in respect to pristine nanotubes. The increase is highly dependent on the used vapor polarity.

We prepared a substrate for detection of gaseous molecules with uniform distribution of copper oxide nanowires. Moreover, we analyzed the influence of various plasma parameters on the nanowire growth as well as for the first time enlighten the underlying physics principals of nanowire growth at plasma conditions. The scientific publication was published in journal Physics of Plasmas.
