From page 3...
... A broad range of tasks depend on a capability for sensing chemicals: protection against chemical agents, monitoring of environmental quality, and process control are examples important to the Navy. Understanding the response of many sensor types at a detailed molecular level lags successful application and limits the design of new sensors.

From page 4...
... The origin of the GMRE is not fully understood at this time. Establishment of a sound theoretical basis for the origin of the effect will provide chemists with the information necessary to rationally design materials with the range of properties required for use in the sensor elements of storage devices and will allow rapid optimization of these properties.
