Currently, there is a need to develop sensitive and chemically specific sensors for the detection of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid especially for in-situ measurements in the atmosphere. Polymer coatings have been synthesized and tested for their sensitivity and selectivity to nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. A primary requirement for these polymers is delectability down to the parts per trillion range. The results of studies using these polymers as coatings for quartz crystal microbalances and surface acoustic wave devices will be presented.
