Abstract :
In this paper, polysiloxane-coated Love-wave sensors are used to detect organophosphorus compounds (GB and DMMP). A coating system to improve sensitive layer deposition for Love-wave sensors is presented. A comparison between theoretical calculations and experimental results brings to light that a pure mass loading effect cannot explain the sensor response
