Colorimetric Chemosensors for Explosives Detection
This research project focuses on developing advanced colorimetric chemosensors capable of rapid, visual detection of explosives and other dangerous materials for security and safety applications.
Project Number: 12010305
Duration: 2019-2021
Role: Research Team Member
Status: Completed
The sensors operate through visible color change mechanisms that occur when target molecules interact with specially designed chemosensor compounds, enabling immediate visual detection.
Advanced molecular design incorporating selective binding sites and signal transduction mechanisms for enhanced performance and reliability.
Rapid screening of luggage and cargo for explosive materials
Protection of government buildings and public facilities
Enhanced security for events and crowded areas
As a research team member, Dr. Mahmoud Basseem contributed expertise in organic synthesis, molecular design, and sensor characterization for explosive detection applications.
