Abstract

The problems of stability and reliability of gas sensors operation are dominant while designing devices for sensor market, regardless of used sensing materials. Therefore, sensing materials and conditions of their operation should be selected according to mentioned above requirements. Present chapter gives general view on this problem basing on the examples of polymers, metal oxides, solid electrolytes and semiconductors. Chapter includes 3 figures, 1 Table and 30 references.
