A novel planar interdigital sensor based sensing system has been fabricated and developed for the purpose of environmental monitoring. The main focus is to assess easily the dangerous molecules such as marine biotoxins in seafood. The ultimate goal is to prevent the unwanted illnesses due to consumption of dangerous toxins along with raw oysters, claws and mussels. Three types of novel sensors were...
Airborne microbes such as bacteria are a threat to public health. To prevent and control such dangerous biological particles, robust and real-time detection systems are necessary. For direct and real-time detection of airborne microbes, samples must be collected and typically re-suspended in liquid prior to detection; however, environmental particles such as dust are also trapped in such samples....
In this paper, a first prototype of a multifunctional tactile sensor using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is proposed, designed, and tested. Two IPMC strips are used, one as an actuator and one as a sensor, both positioned in a cantilever configuration; working together they enable the system to detect the presence of a material in contact with it and to measure its stiffness. These sensing...
