Nanosensors for the smart city : new insight on promising carbon nanotubes devices

The development of nanosensors for the smart-city is discussed in the framework of the Sense-City Equipex project. Two types of carbon nanotubes based sensors are discussed, a field effect transistor using a carbon nanotubes randow network as channel for humidity sensing and a microsonar using an aligned array of carbon nanotubes as vibrating membrane for microporosity monitoring in concrete. The Sense-city project is also described.
