Funded Activity Summary

Dendrimers: multidimensional sensors. The threat of terrorism is presented to us on a daily basis. Although there is often talk of dirty bombs, and biological and nuclear terrorism, the most easily sourced weapon of the terrorist is still the conventional explosive. As such the ability to detect trace amounts of compounds such as TNT or Semtex is required. This means that there is a real need for a portable detection system with the ability to reliably sense a specific explosive, selectively at low concentrations. This project concerns the development of new sensors that have potential to increase the nation's security.
