This 'follow-on' project builds upon the success of recent work undertaken by the applicants, particularly under the first round of the EPSRC Challenging Engineering Programme and, critically, takes that research forward towards industrial application and exploitation. The work continues the strong interdisciplinary partnership between Electrical Engineering at City University London (CUL) and Civil Engineering at Queen's University of Belfast (QUB), working together with their respective Technology Transfer Officers (TTOs) to take full advantage of the excellent relationship forged, including with the spin-out company, Sengenia, and the other industrial partners, Network Rail, Roads Services of Northern Ireland, Amey Plc and Collins Engineering. There is a clear focus of the proposal - to make the commercial potential of the research more evident, both to the market and to set a platform for generating sustainable interest from future funding organizations to create the right conditions for commercial exploitation of the technology. The key technical strength, underpinning the commercial potential and providing the capability, is the successful development (through the support from EPSRC EP/D030269/1, EP/D030196/1, EP/D009162/1, EP/F012829/1) of novel corrosion sensor systems for monitoring early signatures of concrete corrosion. This has enabled the creation of, for the first time to the knowledge of applicants, new, tailored, durable in-situ pH sensors which have a demonstrable capability to measure pH values higher than 12 and chloride sensors which have not just been able to measure free chloride concentrations (to a level as low as 20mM) but also been sustainable in the high alkaline environment experienced.The research undertaken to date has shown real promise to bridge currently identified market gaps by providing better monitoring solutions for both marine and civil infrastructures and thus to overcome current commercial limitations in the UK and beyond, especially in terms of the sensing range, sensitivity and durability. Several important technical and commercial challenges have been identified which are well attuned to the Follow-on funding agenda and the success of this proposal promises industry access to better data to allow more timely maintenance and cost saving - creating a successful commercial proposition, to the benefit of UK and global industry. It should be stressed that this application to the Follow-on Fund is targeted not simply at another year's work on sensors per se but is designed to make the ideas generated and the work done better suited to rapid commercial exploitation, to the benefit both of industry and academia. The approach taken is built on the support of and advice from both an SME and end users, to give a better understanding of decay and corrosion processes in the built environment.

这个“后续”项目建立在申请人最新工作的成功基础上，尤其是在EPSRC挑战工程计划的第一轮中，并且批判性地将这项研究迈向了工业应用和剥削。这项工作延续了伦敦城市大学（CUL）的电气工程与贝尔法斯特大学皇后大学（QUB）的土木工程之间的牢固跨学科伙伴关系，与他们各自的技术转移官（TTOS）合作，充分利用了良好的关系，包括与Spin-Out Company，Sengenia，Sengenia，Sengenia，Sengenia，Sengenia，其他工业合作伙伴以及其他工业伙伴，Engrion Rail，Roads of Northercress of Northernernern andernern，Ameynernnern，Ameynernnern，Ameynern，Ameynern，Ameynern，Amey Ameynern，Amey Ameynern。该提案明显重点 - 使研究的商业潜力更加明显，无论是在市场上，并设定了一个平台，以使未来的资助组织的可持续利益为该技术的商业开发创造正确的条件。基于商业潜力并提供能力的主要技术强度是成功开发（通过EPSRC EP/D030269/1的支持，EP/D030196/1，EP/D009162/1，EP/F012829/1）对新型腐蚀传感器进行新型腐蚀传感器的早期签名。这使得首次能够建立新的，量身定制的，耐用的pH传感器的知识，这些pH传感器具有可证明的能力，可以证明pH值高于12和氯化物传感器和氯化物传感器，而氯化物传感器和氯化物传感器不仅能够衡量自由氯化物的浓度（还可以在较低的范围内降低到可持续的范围内）。海洋和民用基础设施的解决方案，从而克服英国及以后的当前商业限制，尤其是在感应范围，敏感性和耐用性方面。已经确定了一些重要的技术和商业挑战，这些挑战非常适合后续资金议程，该提案的成功承诺，行业可以访问更好的数据，以允许更及时的维护和节省成本 - 创建成功的商业主张，从而使英国和全球行业受益。应该强调的是，这项对后续基金的应用不仅是针对另一年的传感器本身的工作，而且旨在使产生的想法和所做的工作更适合快速商业剥削，以使工业和学术界受益。采用的方法是基于中小企业和最终用户的支持和建议，以更好地了解建筑环境中的衰减和腐蚀过程。
