The research team of Professor Jae-Young Park (Department of Electronic Engineering) at Kwangwoon University has successfully developed core-shell nano-porous carbon (CS-NPC) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) based nanocomposite (CS-NPC@MWCNT) with excellent electric, mechanical, and chemical properties and a multi-sensor patch capable of simultaneous monitoring of sweat sodium, potassium, calcium, and pH levels in real time.

The study was funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy's Industrial Technology Innovation Program (RS-2022-00154983, Development of a Self-Sustaining Power Sensor Platform for Low-Power Sensors and Actuators) and Kwangwoon University’s Outstanding Researcher Support Program in 2022. The findings were published in Chemical Engineering Journal (Impact Factor: 15.1), one of the world's top-tier journals in the field of chemical engineering published by Elsevier., Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1385894723045679
