Investigation of new materials for electrochemical sensing
As artificial intelligence continues to advance and the Internet of Things and smart objects and clothing become more prevalent, the demand for integrated flexible sensors is increasing. Electrochemical sensors are already sufficiently advanced and miniaturised for integration into objects or clothing, and sensors for long-term measurement are under development. However, challenges remain: non-toxic and stable materials are needed to ensure the sensors are harmless to health. This project will synthesise new conductive polymers and explore new or functionalised nanomaterials, such as conductive polymers, graphene and metal nanoparticles, which will exhibit different properties to existing materials.
