Prof. Richard Pinto and Dr. Jayarama presented the Project Proposal on ‘Development of prototype ethanol sensor product based on PLD Grown BiFeO3 thin films’ for partial funding from KCTU. Prof. Manjappa and Industry Partner Mr. Bhagavath, iWave Systems Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru were also present during the meeting.
The total expected funding is Rs. 1.15 Crores out of which Rs. 65 Lakhs will be contributed by Sahyadri and the remaining Rs. 50 Lakhs will be funded by KCTU. It is worth mentioning that - in connection to this proposal Prof. Richard Pinto has an Indian patent on growth of BiFeO3 films and its ethanol sensing properties obtained in 2002-03 during his days at TIFR-IITB. The Preliminary work has been done at IIT Bombay, Nano-Fabrication facility (IITB-NF) under the Indian Nano Users Program (INUP).
Four small scale industries namely M/s HMV Industries, Chikmagalur, M/s G T Technologies, Vittal, Mangalore, M/s Chirag Industries, Chikmagalur and M/s Indochem Industries, Chikmagalur have prepared to go for industrial production in either of the three locations – Chikmagalur, Mangalore or Bantwal incase the project is successfully completed & the design details are given as per the requirement of the user.
This project was submitted by Dr. Umesh M. Bhushi as Chief Promoter, Dr. Jayarama A, Dr. Richard Pinto, Dr. Niraj Joshi, Dr. Rathish R Gatti, Dr. Navin Bappalige and Prof. S.
