Plasmonic Nanosensors for Chemical Warfare Agents

Abstract

Major Goals: MKS Technology- 1. Design and evaluate a removable cartridge for our porous membranes (months 1-3) 2. Develop an air sampling system to pull ambient air through the porous SERS membranes (months 3-6) 3. Develop firmware algorithms for library matching routines. (months 1-18) -Routines will account for variation between SERS substrates and will accept multiple coatings for enhanced agent adsorption. 4. Evaluate the reader and SERS membranes with VX and Lewisite at ECBC (months 12-24) 5. Design and evaluate a MIL-STD 810G system that is compliant to: (months 6-12)- drop, splash, ambient temperature, decontamination 6. Coordinate with DOD specialist and design the reader for field connectivity (months 6-12).
