A novel wearable electronic nose for armpit odor analysis is proposed by using a low-cost chemical sensor array integrated in a ZigBee wireless communication system. We report the development of a carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polymer sensor array based on inkjet printing technology. With this technique both composite-like layer and actual composite film of CNTs/polymer were prepared as sensing layers for the chemical sensor array. The sensor array can response to a variety of complex odors and is installed in a prototype of wearable e-nose for monitoring the axillary odor released from human body. The wearable e-nose allows the classification of different armpit odors and the amount of the volatiles released as a function of level of skin hygiene upon different activities.
通过将集成在ZigBee无线通信系统中的低成本化学传感器阵列用于腋下气味分析，提出了一种新型可穿戴电子鼻。我们报告了基于喷墨打印技术的碳纳米管（CNTs）/聚合物传感器阵列的开发情况。利用该技术，制备了类复合层和实际的CNTs/聚合物复合膜作为化学传感器阵列的传感层。该传感器阵列能够对多种复杂气味做出响应，并安装在可穿戴电子鼻原型中，用于监测人体释放的腋下气味。这种可穿戴电子鼻能够对不同的腋下气味进行分类，并根据不同活动时皮肤卫生水平的变化来检测释放的挥发物量。
