To detect pollutants in the air, we develop compact, high-performance, lightweight measuring devices. These devices probe the chemical reactivity of gaseous pollutants using colored microbeads [See : Mugherli et al, Lab-on-a-Chip 2020; Guittet et al, Journal of Sol-gel Science and Technology 2023].

Context :
To detect pollutants in the air, we are developing compact, high-performance, lightweight measuring devices.

Main objective:
This project aims to fabricate materials of various formats, and in particular with microfluidic processes. Actions will be carried out in conjunction with a PhD student.

Main tasks:
Two main actions will be carried out:
(i) Fabricate materials using Sol-Gel processes.
(ii) Characterize the structure and function of these materials.
