Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas detector comprises a gas detection unit and a filter introducing surrounding atmosphere to the gas detection unit. The filter comprises a gas-permeable organic polymer membrane having an acidic group or a basic group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas detector comprising: a gas detection unit; and a filter introducing surrounding atmosphere to the gas detection unit, wherein the filter comprises a gas-permeable organic polymer membrane having an acidic group or a basic group and wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane is configured to make gases to be detected permeate said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane and to fix siloxane molecules in said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane. 2. The gas detector according to claim 1 , wherein the gas detector is a gas sensor, and wherein the gas sensor further comprises a housing accommodating the gas detection unit and wherein the filter is attached on the housing. 3. The gas detector according to claim 2 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane has carboxyl group as the acidic group or amino group as the basic group. 4. The gas detector according to claim 2 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane is a membrane of polysaccharide. 5. The gas detector according to claim 2 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane is a carboxy-methyl-cellulose membrane having carboxyl group or a chitosan membrane having amino group. 6. The gas detector according to claim 1 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane has carboxyl group as the acidic group or amino group as the basic group. 7. The gas detector according to claim 1 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane is a membrane of polysaccharide. 8. The gas detector according to claim 1 , wherein said gas-permeable organic polymer membrane is a carboxy-methyl-cellulose membrane having carboxyl group or a chitosan membrane having amino group.
