Sensor for Detection of Formaldehyde Gas

Project ID: D2021-02 Background Formaldehyde (CH2O) is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that has been classified as one of the most toxic carcinogens by both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). Since formaldehyde gas can damage the nervous and immune systems, the WHO has set a maximum...

Super Sensitive Sensor For The Detection Of Hydroxyl Free Radicals in PEM Fuel Cells

Project ID: D2020-04 Background: Owing to increased threat to the environment, the market for eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is expected to hit $42 billion by 2026. However, concerns over the degradation of the current fuel cell technology is one of the biggest shortcomings. The durability issue persists in the ion exchange membrane that...

Super Sensitive Sensor for the Detection of Hydroxyl Free Radicals

Project ID: D2020-04 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are well known for their extreme reactivity. The impact of free radicals on medical and clinical fields is critical as hydroxyl radicals (OH) can be used as biomarkers for the detection of aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. Because certain types of free radicals are known...

Enhanced Anti-Fouling Properties of Novel Composite Material

Project ID: D2013-31 Novelty: Development of a novel electromagnetic polymer composite material for enhanced anti-fouling effects. Background: Biofouling (bacterial attachment to solid surfaces and colonization) is the main source of bacterial infection and poses potentially harmful impacts on human health. Medical devices, food packaging, and drinking...

Novel Composite Sensor for Detecting Free Radicals

Project ID: D2017-31Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection and measurement is frequently practiced in a broad range of medical and clinical settings.
