Olena Aksimentyeva-Krasnopolska
Professor, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Chief Researcher, Professor of the Department of Physical and Coloid Chemistry of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. Author of over 600 scientific papers, including 9 monographs, 3 tutorials, over 380 articles, 55 copyright certificates and patents for inventions. Areas of scientific priorities: physico-chemistry of conducting polymers, polymer-semiconductor hybrid nanosystems, polymer electronics, sensors.
At the current stage of society’s development, in conditions of rapid deterioration of the environment, the issue of human safety is particularly acute. As the world population continues to grow, the need to extract all the resources necessary for humanity (minerals, fresh water, etc.) has also increased. This has led to a significant increase in man-made pollution of the environment. An extremely important and complex environmental problem of our time is the presence in the atmosphere of substances harmfup8l to humans and the environment, in particular toxic and poisonous gases and vapors. Therefore, one of the leading topics of research for scientists around the world is the development of new sen sory substances and the manufacture of affordable, compact, and safe sensors, detectors, and indicators for gases and volatile substances.
The purpose of this publication is to familiarize a wide range of scientists and engineering and technical workers, technologists, students, and doctoral students with new trends in the field of thin-film sensor elements and sensor structures based on inorganic and organic semiconductors for gas environment control.
