Biomimic Sensor

​

Mimics of mammalian skin, olfaction, and cells approaches have enabled the identification of many types of sensing including pressure, humidity, odorants and harmful ions. Artificial mimics systems have been developed to rapidly and sensitively identify displacement, temperature, vapor phase molecules, and ion concentration. In nature, cellular metabolism, including protein metabolism, lipid peroxidation and cholesterol biosynthesis, produces specific compounds, some of which can be useful for both fundamental and applied research, such as metabolic pathway investigations, pathological studies and medical applications. We recently have developed the artificial nose systems that are based on biomaterials [1-3]. The bioinspired biosensor holds promise for the development of activity trackers, which is operational in low power, for flexible and stretchable activity trackers. The proposed research will be devoted to: (1) the development of skin-inspired sensor which can identify the pressure, temperature and humidity [4], (2) the development of nose-inspired sensor, and (3) the development of red blood cells-inspired sensor which can selectively measure the desired ion.
