Brewer Science Introduces CNT-Based Sensors to Detect Environmental Factors and Chemical Explosives

Brewer Science presented its work utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT) materials for sensor applications at the Nanotech Conference in Washington, DC from May 12-15, 2013.


“Brewer Science serves a unique role in the carbon electronics supply chain with capabilities to supply CNT materials and to design and prototype CNT-based devices,” said Ram Trichur, business development manager at Brewer Science, Inc. “We are introducing two types of CNT-based sensors to detect environmental factors and the presence of trace amounts of explosives. The explosives sensors are capable of detecting a few parts per billion of chemical explosive materials, while the environmental sensor can provide immediate feedback to small changes in temperature and humidity.”

“With its small form factor, the CNT-based temperature and humidity sensor can play an integral part in our everyday electronics, from mobile phones and tablet PCs to medical and industrial monitoring, while the explosives sensors can play a key role in our defense and national security,” added James Lamb, director of business development.
