petrochemical, mining etc.) as well as in the broader safety of Canadian citizens. Driven by the technological_x000D_
demands to embed electronics systems in flexible, wearable devices, environmental monitors must also be_x000D_
developed to be integrated with such novel technologies. The lack of materials that are concomitantly bendable,_x000D_
highly sensitive and low power consumers, hinders M3SH Technology, a Canadian company manufacturing_x000D_
electronic systems of environmental monitors, from developing products that can be compatible with the next_x000D_
generation flexible electronics. In this project, M3SH Technology will leverage Dr. Luican-Mayer's research_x000D_
expertise in the fabrication and characterization of a new class of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials_x000D_
such as graphene, to tackle this problem. The innovative idea is to fabricate and characterize field effect_x000D_
transistor that change their conductivity when exposed to different gas species. If successful, M3SH_x000D_
Technology would like to prototype and commercialize these superior, flexible electronics environment_x000D_
monitors. The research pursued through this Engage proposal has the potential to increase the company's_x000D_
manufacturing business and needs in Canada, leading to job creating and economic benefits for the country. At_x000D_
