Abstract: Chemical sensors for detecting analytes in fluids comprise first and second conductive elements (e.g., electrical leads) electrically coupled to and separated by a chemically sensitive resistor which provides an electrical path between the conductive elements. The resistor comprises a plurality of alternating nonconductive regions (comprising a nonconductive organic polymer) and conductive regions (comprising a conductive material) transverse to the electrical path. The resistor provides a difference in resistance between the conductive elements when contacted with a fluid comprising a chemical analyte at a first concentration, than when contacted with a fluid comprising the chemical analyte at a second different concentration. Arrays of such sensors are constructed with at least two sensors having different chemically sensitive resistors providing dissimilar such differences in resistance. Variability in chemical sensitivity from sensor to sensor is provided by qualitatively or quantitatively varying the composition of the conductive and/or nonconductive regions. An electronic nose for detecting an analyte in a fluid may be constructed by using such arrays in conjunction with an electrical measuring device electrically connected to the conductive elements of each sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing cellulose derivatives wherein cellulose is impregnated with an alkali solution, the impregnated cellulose is selectably pressed out, and the cellulose undergoes a substitution or addition reaction, whereby the cellulose derivative is obtained with a degree of substitution DS. The applied cellulose is an ammonia activated cellulose. The molar ratio of the alkali to the AHG (anhydro glucose unit) in the cellulose at the beginning of the substitution or addition reaction does not exceed twice the valve of the desired DS. For the swelling of cellulose, no excess of alkali is required, which does not react to produce alkali cellulose but only adheres to the cellulose as a loose association product. Reagent consumption in the substitution or addition reaction is lower. Fewer secondary products are formed.
