Molecular Imprinted polymer/GRAphene for environmental microSENSors network – MIGRASENS

The MIGRASENS ANR’s objective is to develop a new generation of water pollutants microsensors network based on the association of CVD graphene and Molecular Imprinted Polymer (MIP). By coupling the properties of the graphene in terms of conduction, robustness, electrochemical sensitivity and the MIP selectivity, the consortium wants to design a lab-on-chip for the detection of a wide scope of micropollutants highlighted in the Water Frameworks Directive. The ambition of this project is to go to the CVD graphene production to its integration in a multidetection lab-on-chip prototype. The success of the project relies on the complementary competencies of the consortium, which includes two societies DSA technologies (Orléans) and Annealsys (Montpellier) and two academic laboratories ICMN (Orléans) and L2C (Montpellier), will allow to have got an overall point of view. The main scientific challenge will be to optimize the electro activity of the graphene electrode by the control of the growth parameters of CVD graphene and to use it as conductive platform of the sensor.
