Need: People are exposed to formaldehyde, a carcinogen found in building materials. Highly sensitive, real-time formaldehyde sensors would improve human safety by alerting users to harmful concentrations. _x000D_ _x000D_ Technical Feasibility: Vaporsens produces chemical sensors based on novel organic nanofiber technology. Phase 1 results demonstrated high selectivity, rapid-response time, and dem ...

The goal of this project is the formulation a rigid, insulating, low-density wood composite, with physical and thermal properties comparable to fossil fuel derived foams. _x000D_ _x000D_ To achieve energy conservation standards mandated by certification agencies such as Passive House and LEED, high performance buildings require multiple shells of insulation – an inner shell that contains electri ...

IT IS PROPOSED THAT LEE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATES AND DEVELOPSNEW AND IMPROVED INSTRUMENTAL METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF N NON-VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTAL MA MATRICES BY CAPILLARY COLUMN SUPERCRITICAL FLUID CHROMATO GRAPHY (SFC). NON-VOLATILE COMPOUNDS OF SPECIFIC INTEREST INCLUDE HEAVY-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT, POLAR, AND THERMAL-LABILE SPECIES WHICH HAVE PROVEN TO BE DIFFICULT OR IM ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF AMULTI-STAGED DIFFUSED AERATION TREATMENTSYSTEM FOR GASOLINE REMOVAL FROM CONTAMINATED HOUSEHOLD GROUND WATER SUPPLIES WILL BE STUDIED. EXPERIMENTS IN THE LABORATORY AND FIELD WILL IDENTIFY THE CONTROLLING GASOLINE COMPONENT COMPOUNDS FOR THE SYSTEM. THESE ADDITIVES ARE LIKELY TO INCLUDE METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE) AND OTHER HIGHLY SOLUBLE AND POORLY ADSORBED COMPOUNDS. E ...
