Effect of Different Variables on the Electrical Conductivity Sensitivity of Synthesized Zeolite/Polymer Composites for Various Gases: A Review

In this review synthesis of zeolites, cation exchange of zeolites and polymerization of polymers in zeolites to form zeolite/polymer composites is reported. The effect of various variables like zeolite content, temporal response of the zeolite, effect of cation concentration, effect of vapor type, effect of cyclic interval, pore size, zeolite type, Si/Al ratio and type of cation in the zeolite pore on the electrical conductivity sensitivity of zeolite/polymer composites to various gases is reported here. An increase or decrease in the above variables and their effect on the sensitivity of the composites is summarized.
