Abstract

Herein, we report, a simple breath sensor based on Au/PVDF nanocomposites. Au nanostructures have been synthesized by using a simple seed mediated growth method. The synthesized Au nanostructures exhibited uniform spherical morphology with average diameter ~20 nm, confirmed by FESEM analysis. The synthesized nanostructures were further used to form nanocomposites with Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF). The synthesized Au nanospheres as well as Au nanospheres/PVDF nanocomposites were tested for breath analysis. The nanocomposite materials were found to sense breath and uniform breathing patterns were generated. During breathing over sensor, voltage gets generated. The maximum voltage obtained was around 280 mV in breathing cycle.
