| Advancement level
(G1, G2, A): G2
|

| Aim: The course will give an overview of chemical sensor science and technology including important definitions like sensor response, speed of response, cross sensitivity and drift. The principles are given for a number of chemical sensors, both sensors used in industry in sensor systems (electronic noses) and sensors still in the research laboratory. The course will focus on detection mechanisms for chemical sensors but examples of applications are also given. The students get some training in how to find new sensors in literature themselves and how to describe them |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) At least 80 points from natural sciences and / or a technological program in Physics and Chemistry or the comparison. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Supplementary courses: ETE275 |
|||
| Organisation: Net based course. The course may be followed at a distance through the use of netbased lectures and questionaries. Optional lectures are provided 3 Saturdays. It is also possible to exchange one report for an oral presentation. |
|||
| Course contents: A number of chemical sensor technologies, e.g. metal oxide sensors, field effect sensors, resonators, optical sensors and conducting polymers, will be presented in detail with detection mechanism and application examples. The course gives basic knowledge in sensor science and technology:
|
|||
| Course literature: Netbased lectures and questionnaires. Review papers. Individual search of sensor papers in data bases |
|||
| Examination: | |||
| Assignments Optional written report for higher grades |
4 ECTS 0 ECTS |
||
| Requirements for pass are accepted answers to the questionnaires. Furthermore, each student should write review reports of scientific papers about 4 types of sensor technologies. The course give pass or fail. It is possible to perform extended report work to get a higher grade. | |||
