Graphene sensor implemented in adult's diaper to detect fecal sulfide volatile gas

用于成人尿布的气体传感器的开发和商业化对于老年人护理解决方案至关重要。本项目的主要重点是基于石墨烯的智能尿布传感器的概念，以检测粪便硫化物挥发性气体（H2S）。Siaj实验室将开发、表征和测试一种封装在透气疏水膜中的石墨烯场效应晶体管（gFET），用于H2S检测。基于石墨烯的传感器将在成人尿布中实现。这种智能尿布满足了医院、幼儿园、养老院的需求，它可以使越来越多的老年人受益。 该项目汇集了加拿大研究小组（Siaj，在UQAM）和加拿大公司（Seneca Sense Technologies Inc.，SST Inc.）该公司结合了石墨烯生长和传感设备开发方面的独特互补专业知识，用于可感知湿度事件的可穿戴设备。为了完成这项工作，SST Inc.寻求与Pr Siaj建立新的研究合作。实现其目标的一个重要因素是SST公司。的战略，以利用其内部的研发活动与强大的合作关系，以哥伦比亚为基础的大学团体。该项目的目标与公司为老年人开发智能尿布的优先事项相匹配。Siaj的小组活动集中在石墨烯材料的生长和合成及其作为化学传感器的集成。Siaj的集团专业知识将是帮助SST公司的关键。对于拟议的项目。 气体传感器领域的研究和开发（R&D）表明，石墨烯提供了一个全新的世界，能够检测甚至一个气体原子或分子。为此，我们将与该公司一起剪切Siaj在石墨烯生长和器件gFET制造方面的实验室知识。近年来，人们投入了大量精力开发新的可穿戴成人内裤传感技术，以减少尿布疹、泌尿道和粪便道感染的发生。因此，迫切需要一种快速、灵敏、低成本的粪便硫化物挥发性气体检测方法。智能成人尿布传感器项目将改善患者护理，降低运营成本，并完全适应不断增长的家庭护理市场。

Development and commercialization of gas sensors for adults' diaper are of paramount importance for elderly care solutions. The main focus of the present project will be the conception of a smart diaper sensor based-graphene to detect fecal sulfide volatile gas (H2S). Siaj lab will develop, characterize and test an encapsulated graphene field effect transistor (gFET) in gas permeable hydrophobic membranes for H2S detection. The graphene-based sensor will be implemented in the adult's diaper. Such smart diapers meet the needs in hospitals, pre-schools, nursing homes and it could benefit a wide elderly growing population. This project brings together a Canadian research group (Siaj, at UQAM) and a Canadian company (Seneca Sense Technologies Inc., SST Inc.) that combines a unique complementary expertise in graphene growth and sensing device development for wearable devices that sense wetness events. To perform this work, SST Inc. seeks to establish new research collaboration with Pr Siaj. An important element for attaining its objectives is SST Inc.'s strategy to leverage its internal R&D activities with strong collaborative links with Canadian-based University groups. The objectives of the project match the priorities of the company in developing smart diapers for the elderly. Siaj's group activities focus on the growth and synthesis of graphene material and their integration as chemical sensors. Siaj's group expertise will be a key to help SST Inc. for the proposed project. Research and Development (R&D) within gas sensor sector suggests that graphene offers a whole new world capable of detecting even one atom or molecule of gas. To this end, we will shear Siaj's Lab knowledge with the company in graphene growth and devices gFET fabrication. In recent years, much effort has been put into developing new wearable adult brief sensing technology that can reduce instances of diaper rash and urinary and fecal tract infections. A quick, sensitive, and low-cost detection method for fecal sulfide volatile gas are eagerly demanded. The smart adult's diaper sensor project will improve patient care, reduce operational costs and fit squarely into a growing home care market.
