DESCRIPTION:Microwave and Radio Frequency devices have demonstrated signifi
 cant potential in non-destructive\, non-ionizing\, contactless\, and wirel
 ess sensing applications. Among various structures\, the ones with planar 
 form factor are more attractive due to their conformal\, inexpensive\, and
  straightforward fabrication process. These microwave/RF sensors operate b
 ased on the perturbation of the electromagnetic (EM) field and the interac
 tion of the EM field with materials in their close vicinity. Conventionall
 y\, these microwave/RF sensors have been fabricated using metal traces and
  microstrip lines which gives good microwave response and behavior for tho
 se sensors monitoring dielectric properties of solid and liquid materials.
  However\, microwave/RF sensor applications were limited in exposure to ga
 s molecules due to their negligible sensitivities to gas molecules. To add
 ress this challenge\, secondary materials such as polymers\, nanomaterials
  such as carbon nanotubes and titanium nanotubes\, and recently titanium c
 arbide (MXene) were introduced to act as an interface layer to enable gas 
 sensing and even light sensing directly at microwave frequencies. This lec
 ture will mainly focus on different planar microwave/RFID-based structures
  and their interactions with nanomaterials such as TiO2 nanotubes\, mesopo
 rous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, and MXene in exposure to gas molecu
 les and water vapors. Moreover\, conductive polymers such as PEDOT:PSS wil
 l be discussed in microwave structures as an alternative to metals in micr
 ostrip lines to eliminate the use of extra interface materials for monitor
 ing gases. In addition\, the potential of 3D printing and other additive m
 anufacturing techniques will be discussed in the nanomaterials concept to 
 empower the microwave/RFID -based sensors.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mohammad Zarifi\

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Microwave and Radio Frequency devices have
  demonstrated significant potential in non-destructive\, non-ionizing\, co
 ntactless\, and wireless sensing applications. Among various structures\, 
 the ones with planar form factor are more attractive due to their conforma
 l\, inexpensive\, and straightforward fabrication process. These microwave
 /RF sensors operate based on the perturbation of the electromagnetic (EM) 
 field and the interaction of the EM field with materials in their close vi
 cinity. Conventionally\, these microwave/RF sensors have been fabricated u
 sing metal traces and microstrip lines which gives good microwave response
  and behavior for those sensors monitoring dielectric properties of solid 
 and liquid materials. However\, microwave/RF sensor applications were limi
 ted in exposure to gas molecules due to their negligible sensitivities to 
 gas molecules. To address this challenge\, secondary materials such as pol
 ymers\, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and titanium nanotubes\, an
 d recently titanium carbide (MXene) were introduced to act as an interface
  layer to enable gas sensing and even light sensing directly at microwave 
 frequencies. This lecture will mainly focus on different planar microwave/
 RFID-based structures and their interactions with nanomaterials such as Ti
 O2 nanotubes\, mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, and MXene in e
 xposure to gas molecules and water vapors. Moreover\, conductive polymers 
 such as PEDOT:PSS will be discussed in microwave structures as an alternat
 ive to metals in microstrip lines to eliminate the use of extra interface
