Proyectos de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades

Nuevos sensores basados ​​en grafeno eliminado por láser

Programa específico: Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN) – Programa Ciencia para la Paz
UPV/EHU: Líder
UPV/EHU Supervisora: Radmila Tomovska
Inicio del proyecto: 01/05/2017
Fin del proyecto: 30/04/2020

Breve descripción: Este proyecto se centra en el desarrollo de sensores de gas basados ​​en compuestos de polímero/grafeno basados ​​en dos técnicas: por un lado, la producción de compuestos en base agua mediante técnicas de polimerización en emulsión y, por otro, la ablación de estos compuestos mediante láseres IR o UV y la preparación de películas delgadas conductoras de electricidad. El proceso térmico específico que ocurre durante la ablación láser conduce a la deposición ablativa de materiales que no se pueden producir mediante un calentamiento convencional lento.
