A novel low power robust
gas
microsensor platform has been developed based
on nanoporous anodic alumina. This patented platform
utilizes our HeatSENS™ and AnoSENS™
technologies, and offers many benefits including
low power, improved response time, higher sensitivity
and greater selectivity. Several types of gas
sensors are under
development using this technology, including
Humidity/Moisture, VOC, Formaldehyde, H2S, and
H2 sensors among others.
Membranes
The inherent features of our nanoporous ceramic
membranes make them a promising candidate for
gas separation membranes. The alumina ceramic
is chemically inert and resistant to high temperatures.
The uniformly distributed and uniformly sized
nanoscale pores provide multiple opportunities
for a portfolio of membrane products for applications
such as gas separation, membrane-reactors, ultra-
and nanofiltration, bioseparation and bioanalysis,
and membrane standards
Templated Nanowire Arrays
Anodic Aluminum Oxide is self-organized into
a nanoscale "honeycomb" formed by uniform
& parallel nanopores. This structure is an
attractive and well-recognized host for templated
nanofabrication and when combined with other
micro and nanofabrication technologies
it enables multiple product opportunities. Both
template-packaged arrays of nanostructures and
nanowires extracted from the template are under
development for a variety of applications.
Ceramic MEMS, BioMEMS
Ceramic
micromachining is one of Synkera's core technologies
and targets chemically resistant and mechanically
robust ceramic micro-components and micro-devices.
In addition to
gas
microsensors, Synkera currently pursues development
of other ceramic MEMS devices, such as robust
microheaters, microchannel plates, catalytic membrane-reactors,
mesoscopic power systems, and biocompatible bioMEMS
systems from nanostructured ceramics.
