SOL-GEL MATERIALS SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION FOR OPTICAL SENSING “SOLGELSENS”

Objectives and relevance of the joint exchange programme

The project brings together four research centers devoted to the development of new materials and nanomaterials based on the sol-gel technology, their physic-chemical characterization and their use for sensing purposes.
 
The established network offers a complete training in the synthesis and characterization of new materials for sensing. The two main areas of training are concerned:
  1. Synthesis and physic-chemical characterization of molecularly imprinted polymers against Antibiotics (β-lactamics, anthracyclins). Development of integration strategies for optical transduction.
  2. Synthesis and physic-chemical characterization of dye-doped sol-gel materials for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensing (model analyte: formaldehyde). Development of integration strategies for optical transduction.

During the reported period the activities of the research groups was concentrated on two work packages:

# 1     Synthesis Of Molecularly Imprinted Sol-Gels Against Antibiotics
# 2     Synthesis Dye Doped Sol-Gels For Formaldehyde Sensing
