Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adfm201570180-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A resistive sensor for detecting traces of benzene in air is built by P. Ballester, E. Llobet, and co‐workers on page 4011 by covalently attaching quinoxaline‐bridged resorcin[4]‐arene cavitands to gold nanoparticles anchored on oxygen plasma treated carbon nanotubes. The inclusion of benzene in the aromatic cavity of the cavitand results in a measureable change of the electrical resistance of the functionalized carbon nanotube material. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj1m92pbrc" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
