A low-cost sensor array system for banana ripeness monitoring is presented. The sensors are constructed by employing a graphite line-patterning technique (LPT) to print interdigitated electrodes on tracing paper and then coating the printed area with thin film of polyaniline (PANI) in-situ polymerization as gas-sensitive layer. PANI layers were used detection volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including ethylene, emitted during ripening. influence various acid dopants, hydrochloric (HCl),...

In this work, the synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) was studied using different preparation routes to decrease crystal size and study temperature effect on HAP nano-sized crystallization. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that all samples were composed by crystalline amorphous phases . The sample with greater quantity of phase (40% total mass) studied. powder heated at 300, 500, 700, 900 1150 °C. All characterized XRD their patterns refined Rietveld method. crystallites presented an...

The herbicide residue from intensive agricultural activity provokes environmental disturbances and human health injuries. Among the enzymatic disruptor herbicides, mesotrione is able to inhibit 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which plays a key role in carotenoid synthesis. Therefore, enzyme-based sensors are innovative options for monitoring herbicides used agriculture. Compared standard sensors, biosensors have assorted advantages, such as practicality, quick response, low cost,...
