Summary
It has commonly been assumed a firefighter is a hazardous career. Each year, hundreds of firefighter sacrifice their lives in the line of duty. With the advances in wearable and nano functional fibre technology, it could be possible to produce a kind of smart bunker gear which could help firefighters to avoid the dangers in the fire. This project introduce a wearable chemical sensor using EcoFlex and CNT conductive fibre to detect the organic solution in environment. This project compare this chemical sensor with some current sensors with similar function and evaluate the chemical sensor using EcoFlex and CNT conductive fibre. Finally, some potential applications would be discussed, like real-time monitor for oil spoil.
