Researcher: Dr Michael Hippler

Research Institution: University of Sheffield

Overview:

Dr Michael Hippler from the University of Sheffield is seeking industry partners to provide funding to support the further development of explosives vapour detection technology and its applications.

Product:

• A novel experimental apparatus to detect explosives vapours at low-ppb, with potential to sub-ppb, levels within seconds by Mid-IR optical absorption.

Market:

• Potential markets include security and military for airport security, clearing of minefields and anti-terrorist operations.

Benefits:

• Offers improvement sensitivity and selectivity and has flexibility to extend detection to new explosives.

Partners:

Industry partners are sought to provide funding to support the further development of the technology and its applications.
