On-Chip Detection and Molecular Fingerprinting of Emerging Toxicants

该项目旨在解决有关开发和整合先进材料和功能分子的关键问题，以用于筛选新兴环境污染物的尖端分析工具。这将产生分析化学的基础和应用知识，使用跨学科的方法来设计具有精确定制特性的材料，用于超灵敏和选择性地检测水中极端持久性有毒物质。预期的结果是光学材料和功能分子，集成到具有先进功能的芯片实验室平台中，用于现实生活中的环境应用，为解决我们社会的主要环境和健康问题带来重大好处。

The project aims to address key questions about the development and integration of advanced materials and functional molecules into cutting-edge analytical tools for screening emerging environmental pollutants. This is expected to generate fundamental and applied knowledge in analytical chemistry, using an interdisciplinary approach to engineer materials with precisely tailored properties for ultra-sensitive and selective detection of extremely persistent toxicants in water. Anticipated outcomes are optical materials and functional molecules, integrated into lab-on-a-chip platforms with advanced features for real-life environmental applications – with significant benefits for addressing major environmental and health treats to our society.
