stabilized within a biopolymeric matrix. These systems are&lt;br /&gt;
extremely versatile gels, in terms of composition, and offer&lt;br /&gt;
potential for fine tuning of both structure and function, as&lt;br /&gt;
each individual component can be varied. Here, the&lt;br /&gt;
characterization and application of these gels as sensing thin&lt;br /&gt;
films in gas sensor devices is presented. The unique&lt;br /&gt;
supramolecular structure of the gels is explored for molecular&lt;br /&gt;
recognition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by&lt;br /&gt;
employing gels with distinct formulations to yield&lt;br /&gt;
combinatorial optical and electrical responses used in the&lt;br /&gt;
distinction and identification of VOCs.&lt;/p&gt;
