The paper presents the results of studying the surface morphology of
cobalt-containing polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films from the standpoint of the theory of
self-organization and information theory. It is stated that the films surface is a set of fractals. The
correlation dimension D and fractal dimension Df of the fabricated films were calculated. Using
the C++ software package program, mutual information of cobalt-containing PAN films surfaces
was calculated, resulting in a correlation between the values of gas sensitivity coefficient and the
values of average mutual information of cobalt-containing PAN films.
Keywords: polyacrylonitrile film; self-organization; correlation analysis; fractal analysis; average mutual information. |
