Advanced Chemical Sensors from Nanoceramics

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将研究和展示一种新型的，响应时间短，基于纳米陶瓷材料的低温化学传感器。纳米陶瓷是一种广泛的新材料，其在小于100 nm的尺度上被人工调制为零到三维。纳米尺度调制赋予纳米陶瓷与分子尺度相适应的界面性质、前所未有的微观结构和独特的性质。纳米材料研究公司（NRC）将通过该计划开发和演示这些传感器。在该计划中，NRC将合成和评估基于纳米陶瓷的低温，低成本，短响应时间氧传感器。Nanomaterials Research Corporation希望在第一阶段建立传感器的概念验证，在第二阶段优化，完全表征和现场测试传感器;在第三阶段，将传感器商业化到利基市场。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will investigate and demonstrate a novel, short response time, low temperature chemical sensor based on nanoceramic materials. Nanoceramics are a broad new class of materials that have been artificially modulated in zero to three dimensions on scales less than 100 nm The nanoscale modulation bestows nanoceramics with interfacial properties tailored to the molecular scale, unprecedented microstructures, and unique properties Such interface engineering has created an exceptional opportunity to design and commercialize novel chemical sensors. Nanomaterials Research Corporation (NRC) will develop and demonstrate these sensors through this program. During this program, NRC will synthesize and evaluate nanoceramic-based low temperature, low cost, short response time oxygen sensors. Nanomaterials Research Corporation expects to establish the proof-of-concept of the sensor during Phase I, optimize, completely characterize and field test the sensor during Phase II; and during Phase III, commercialize the sensors to niche markets.
