3 Objective of the proposal
A short clear description of the proposed work. What you are planning to do?
[An example] The aim of this proposal is to develop a technical prototype of an infrared sensor that will
measure hydrocarbons in water. The sensor will use a fiber optic cable, coated with a polymer and the
level of the hydrocarbons will be determined by measuring the changes in refractive index. The key
research challenges will be: assessing the use of infrared to measure the level of hydrocarbon in water;
identifying a range of polymers that could be used in the sensor and finally assessing the accuracy of the
sensor.
