Chromophore and Polymer Capable Of Detecting the Presence of Various Neurotoxins
RFT-160, RFT-161
This is a dual-use technology that was initially reported under the spin electronics program funded by Department of Defense. The "spintronics" polymer is being tested for use in applications such as increased electronic or computer memory. However, this same material was also used by CNSE in sensor tests. The material provides an optical alert when it comes in contact with metallic poison such as insecticides that are in the same family as nerve gas and neurotoxins.
