The University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa has been awarded a $222,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to design and characterize special polymers for use in thin-film sensors to detect and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The project, led by Dr. Gregory Szulczewski, aims to better understand how the polymer swelling process differs from bulk solids and apply these insights to develop a new type of gas sensor technology with potential applications in the environmental, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Key activities include measuring adsorption/desorption isotherms of VOCs in thin films of "breathing" microporous coordination polymers to identify the "gate-opening" pressure, probing the impact of varying material properties, and using impedance measurements to target development of a new gas sensor. The project also engages K-12 students and summer research opportunities for HBCU students to promote STEM education.
