We develop a scalable innovative nanofabrication methodology for the production of meters-long electrostrictive/piezoelectric nanofiber arrays for electromechanical (acoustic) sensors with unmatched sensing performance. UNAM was established as a transdisciplinary state-of-the-art national research center with support of the State Planning of Organization of Turkey in 2006. Transforming traditional fiber drawing into highly sophisticated nanomanufacturing toolbox. This work is the realization of a radically new nanofabrication scheme which allows mass-production of kilometer-long insulating, conducting, semiconducting, and piezoelectric nanostructures. Typical piezoelectric materials used in device production do not inherently display piezoelectric properties, and must be processed through costly and complex fabrication steps prior to use. In the presence of such volatile molecules, transmission signal through the fibers selectively reduce depending on the the corresponding infrared absorption peaks of the analyte. UNAM’s mission is to shape the future by expanding the limits of science and technology, utilizing its resources and technical prowess as a national center to develop technologies that will play important roles in our daily lives, as well as to raise well-educated scientific personnel to ensure the continuity of Turkey’s technological and scientific development.
