Research abstract
Polestar Technologies Inc. proposes a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project to develop a chemical sensor for detection of chemical-warfare agents. The designed sensor combines selectivity of Molecularly-Imprinted Polymer (MIP) with sensitivity of single-layer graphene sheet. Detection will be based on radio frequency (RF) based impedance. The proposed sensor will be robust, highly deployable and provide stability for long term monitoring. The sensor can be applied for detection of variety of chemical as well as biological warfare agents in air. Phase I project will focus on design and fabrication of proof-of-concept prototype for selective detection of chemical stimulants with sub-ppb sensitivity. Phase I work will serve as a basis for full development of MIP/graphene based chemical and biological agent detection system.
