Individual project Nanomaterials HIGH SENSITIVITY SENSORS Teacher: Cristina Felea Student: Cenan Marius Paul
INTRODUCTION Oxford English Dictionary defines the sensor as “a device that detects and records the conditions or properties, indicate or sometimes respond to information received”
Features: • use area • resolution (sensitivity) • maximum stimulus frequency that can be detected (selectivity) • accuracy (measurement error) • sensor size and weight • operating temperature and environmental conditions • life • long-term stability and cost
Use to measurement of: • pressure • distance • movements • speed • acceleration • force • temperature • chemical concentration
The sensor sensitivity can be improved by doping (changing the concentration) or by microstructural changes such as reducing the particle size to nanodimensions (5-50 nm), which improves the properties and performance of gas sensors due to increased surface area. OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FILMS USED AS GAS SENSORS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Conductive films used as gas sensors Conductive materials used as gas sensors
Sensors based on oxide materials (SMO) • report, evaluate and monitor the presence of gas • chemical resistance and high temperature field that can be used
PRELIMINARY RESULTS We investigated the behavior of several oxides and TiO2has been the most extensively used in controlling air/fuel ratio in internal combustion engines. This oxide can also be used in wastewater purification.
NANODOCTORS IN 30 YEARS • to provide medication • tumor removers • analysis and rebuild tissue destroyed by accident A nanorobot, able to administer poison only target bacteria, would greatly simplify things, “said Ottilie Saxl, chief executive of the U.S. Institute for Nanotechnology”.
