Abstract. This article presents a study proving that the use of boron nitride-based nanotubes can form the basis for the creation of a new hypersensitive sensor capable of responding to the presence of a trace amount of acetone. In confirmation of what has been said, the article describes the computer process of interaction of a modified boronitride nanotube nitro group with an acetone molecule, graphs of the energy interaction of nanosystems are presented. The nitro group (NO2) was chosen according to the following factors: this functional group effectively attracts an electron to itself, that is, the so-called “pulling” of the electron density on itself occurs, which in turn enhances the adsorption properties of the entire BNNT-NO2 complex. Thus, it can be concluded that this work, complementing the knowledge of sensors based on bio and nanotechnology, will be useful not only in theoretical terms, but also as a basis for creating sensor nanodevices in practice. The presented study can provide a significant impetus for the development of sensors based on new technologies in the medical and technical fields.
Key words: gas-phase molecules, acetone molecule, boronitride nanotubes, sensors, nanosystem, composite nanomaterials, adsorption, absorption.
