| The sub-project TN02000069/007 Diagnostics of chemicals in water, aims at the sensitive monitoring of contaminating biological and chemical compounds that may be present in the aquatic environment, these are compounds and measurements that have not been possible before and result from recent advances in Raman spectroscopy, new tailored nanomaterials as well as techniques for direct observation and rapid manipulation of molecular species in micro and nanofluidic environments. In line with the principles of sustainable societal and economic development in the 21st century, there is a growing need for new multifunctional materials and precisely tailored interfaces with multiple physical, electronic and chemical functions. This naturally requires materials and technologies that go beyond the current state of knowledge. Optical and electronic sensor technologies for the detection of chemical and biological substances are applied to a wide range of applications from medical diagnostics to food safety (detection of harmful substances) and environmental monitoring (contaminant contamination analysis). |
