TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

This technology is a liquid crystal sensor that can detect volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), especially aromatic VOCs. In the presence of VOCs, the liquid crystals drastically change color, allowing for user detection with the unaided eye. These features make the technology ideal for personal sensor badges.
