Abstract:
(Invited Talks)
Features of an electronic nose prototype which makes use of
metalloporphyrins as chemically interactive materials, designed and
constructed at the university of Rome Tor Vergata will be
presented, discussed, and compared to others relative to similar
instruments. Among the variety of applications, special emphasis
will be given to those relative to the medical field. Among the
others, results on skin and breath odor taken from healthy and lung
cancer diseased individuals will be illustrated. Also data on
electronic nose and electronic tongue analysis of urines will be
presented. As future perspectives the possibility of
miniaturization will be discussed together with the opportunity to
employ electronic nose also in the human rehabilitation area.
Corrado Di Natale was born in Rome in 1961. He got his Laurea in
Physics from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1987. Currently
he his Assistant Professor (ricercatore) of Electronics at the
Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. He is
active since 1990 in the field of sensors. He published more than
160 papers in international journals and conferences. Current
research interests include:
* Development and application of chemical sensors for
artificial senses (olfaction and taste).
* Study of the opto-electronics properties of molecular materials
and their applications as chemical sensors and
biosensors.
