点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project will develop and commercialisation of a series of printable sensor platforms capable of sensing thebiggest hazards to urban health in China and the UK providing societal benefits to both the countries long term.It builds upon previous academic work which was funded in the UK and will be further developed by a memberof the HVM Catapult. The up-scaled sensors will target industrial solvents, NOx, CO and PM2.5 particles andseek to develop a sensor inlay capable of being integrated with conventional electronics. The basis of the 3sensors will utilise a novel particle sensing electrode, an OFET gas sensor and a graphene/metal oxide sensor.The printable electronic components will be developed in the UK using high-value materials and large areafabrication techniques and then licenced for production in China. The majority of the work in the project willfocus on the optimisation of the design, the functional inks and design of the platform for first applicationimplementation. This will be progressed to a short trial within China of the sensor platform. The output of theproject will be a versatile platform which can be exploited in multiple markets.
