Preparation and Characterization of Three-dimensional Submicron Structures for Multifunctional Electrochemical and Sensor Applications

这个女性研究计划资助项目的奖项是由化学部门颁发给阿肯色大学化学系的英格丽德·弗里奇-法莱斯博士的。该研究的长期目标是制备具有亚微米特征且表面特性可控的三维电极器件。电化学和分子自组装技术将用于定制各种应用的电极表面，并表征设备的操作。在计划期间，将开发制造方法，包括使用薄膜分层和图像化方法的原理实验证明。这些装置在分析化学中可作为多功能电化学传感器或微型电化学过滤装置使用。

This award in the Research Planning Grant for women program is made by the Chemistry Division to Dr. Ingrid Fritsch-Faules of the Chemistry Department, University of Arkansas. The long term goal of the research is to prepare three-dimensional electrode devices with submicron features with controlled surface characteristics. Electrochemical and molecular self-assembly techniques will be used to tailor the electrode surfaces for various applications, and to characterize the operation of the device. During the planning period, the fabrication approach would be developed, including proof of principle experiments using thin film layering and patterning methods. These devices may find application as multifunctional electrochemical sensors or miniature electrochemical filter devices useful in analytical chemistry.
