Poly(o-anisidine)-tin oxide (POA-SnO2) nanocomposites has been investigated for the fabrication of low temperature operative (100 degrees C) liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. The POA-SnO2 nanocomposites have been synthesized through an in situ chemical polymerization of o-anisidine in presence of SnO2 nanoparticles. The POA-SnO2 nanocomposite shows better LPG sensing properties than that of pure POA. The nanocomposite with 50 wt. \% SnO2 exhibits an excellent LPG sensing characteristics at the operating temperature of 100 degrees C such as higher relative gas response (similar to 23.47\% to 3.4\% of LPG), extremely rapid response (similar to 6 s), fast recovery (similar to 33 s), good reproducibility, and remarkable selectivity. The application of POA-SnO2 nanocomposites for fabrication of the LPG sensor was demonstrated. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3667107]
