Reactive Multilayer Thin Films for
Protection Against Acutely Toxic Agents
My project work is focused on
utilizing a Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly technique to fabricate a
chemiresistor for detection of chemical warfare agents. Chemiresistors
which can change their electrical resistance in response to the binding
of analytes have been identified as the leading candidate for low-power,
compact chemical vapor sensor. To improve performance of exiting
chemiresistors, high-surface-area and permeable characteristics of an
electrospun membrane will be exploited as a porous support to create a
highly sensitive, compact chemosensor. This lightweight chemosensor can
be incorporated into soldier uniforms, mask filters, and personal items.
