Abstract
Conductive polymer is one of the important multi-functional materials. It has many applications in lightemitting diodes, chemical sensors, biosensors, et al. This paper provides a relatively comprehensive review on the progress of conductive polymer and composite as sensitive film for sensors to chemical vapors including patents, papers and our preliminary research results. Especially, the feature of conjugated polymers, the processing technology, doping characteristics and some factors affecting gas responses are discussed. Otherwise, the developments of nanostructured conductive polymer and organic-inorganic hybrid film sensor with high sensitivity and rapid response to vapors are also described, and some suggestions are proposed.

Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
Nano-coatings and Nanoscale Composites for Hazardous Environments
Automobile, defence, and aerospace sectors need lightweight material for fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Often these materials are added with nanoscale reinforcements or have to be coated with nanomaterials to improve the scratch resistance, self-healing behaviour and corrosion and wear resistance and are all much needed for hazardous environments without ...read more
