Polymer-nanostructured carbon composite as fuel vapour sensor is described, made by the dissolution method of a non-conductive polymer, ethylene vinylacetate copolymer, mixed with conductive nanographite particles (carbon black). As one of scope of application can be fuel industry. Now there are available petrol with higher octane number and also biologically pure fuel. Wherewith, it is necessary to determine fuel conformity to standards and legislative requirements. Because sensor exhibits relative electrical resistance change in fuel vapours, like petrol and diesel, it can be used in fuel quality evaluation.

Keywords
