iiCON’s Infection Innovation Technology Laboratory: iiTECH in collaboration with LJMU and AFRIMS in Thailand, is developing a microwave sensor to assess the concentration of Etofenprox and Permethrin insecticides on military uniforms.
The project is funded by the Deployed War-Fighter Protection (DWFP) program. The goal is to ensure that these insecticides remain effective after multiple wash cycles.
The team aims to use a microwave sensor system to monitor and validate the quality assurance of these insecticide-treated uniforms, specifically focusing on the longevity of the insecticide efficacy in tropical environments.
