This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program provides $249,998 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop flexible electronic materials for mobile devices that can detect and identify gases, reporting results to users. The materials and circuits will allow the general population to monitor gases related to human health conditions precisely, taking greater control of their health status. The award reflects NSF's mission to advance science and engineering research and innovation leading to breakthrough technologies and solutions to national challenges. The objectives are to prepare polymers recognizing gases with moderate reactivity, use these polymers in circuits and arrays to create responses to specific gases even with interfering gases like water vapor, and configure the circuits for compatibility with mobile device power and information transfer systems. The outcome will be designation of small sets of polymers giving response patterns to health-relevant gases at concentrations like 1 part per million, and circuit designs maximizing longevity, repeatability and compatibility with mobile devices.
