Summary
To detect pollutants in the air, we are developing 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].
Full description
Background :
To detect pollutants in the air, we are developing 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].
Main objective :
The aim of this project is to manufacture materials in different colors, and to evaluate their detection capabilities.
Main tasks :
Two main actions will be carried out during the internship:
(i) Manufacture materials using the Sol-Gel process.
(ii) Evaluate the reactivity of these materials towards pollutants.
