The presence of advanced technologies had brought to the development of acoustic wave sensors. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), an acoustic wave sensor has provided a good sensing performance which enables it to be extensively used in numerous fields. The performance of the sensor is related to the material used as the sensing layer for the adsor

Improvement in sensing layer properties of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors are crucial in developing gas sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this work, we study the use of chitosan thin film as the sensing layer on a QCM sensor to identify the presence of volatile organic compounds specifically isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The e
