The aim of this review is to summarize the recent progress in the fabrication of efficient nanostructured polymer-based sensors with special focus on polypyrrole. The correlation between physico-chemical parameters, mainly morphology of various polypyrrole nanostructures, and their sensitivity towards selected gas and volatile organic compounds (VOC) is provided. The different approaches of polypyrrole modification with other functional materials are also discussed. With respect to possible sensors application in medicine, namely in the diagnosis of diseases via the detection of volatile biomarkers from human breath, the sensor interaction with humidity is described as well. The major attention is paid to analytes such as ammonia and various alcohols.
本综述的目的是总结高效的基于聚合物的纳米结构传感器制造方面的最新进展，特别关注聚吡咯。文中阐述了物理化学参数（主要是各种聚吡咯纳米结构的形态）与其对选定气体和挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的灵敏度之间的相关性。还讨论了用其他功能材料对聚吡咯进行改性的不同方法。关于传感器在医学上的可能应用，即通过检测人体呼出的挥发性生物标志物来诊断疾病，文中也描述了传感器与湿度的相互作用。主要关注的分析物包括氨和各种醇类。
