Among various structures\, t he ones with planar form factor are more attractive due to their conformal \, inexpensive\, and straightforward fabrication process. These microwave/ RF sensors operate based on the perturbation of the electromagnetic (EM) f ield and the interaction of the EM field with materials in their close vic inity. Conventionally\, these microwave/RF sensors have been fabricated us ing metal traces and microstrip lines which gives good microwave response and behavior for those sensors monitoring dielectric properties of solid a nd liquid materials. However\, microwave/RF sensor applications were limit ed in exposure to gas molecules due to their negligible sensitivities to g as molecules. To address this challenge\, secondary materials such as poly mers\, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and titanium nanotubes\, and recently titanium carbide (MXene) were introduced to act as an interface layer to enable gas sensing and even light sensing directly at microwave f requencies. This lecture will mainly focus on different planar microwave/R FID-based structures and their interactions with nanomaterials such as TiO 2 nanotubes\, mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, and MXene in ex posure to gas molecules and water vapors. Moreover\, conductive polymers s uch as PEDOT:PSS will be discussed in microwave structures as an alternati ve to metals in microstrip lines to eliminate the use of extra interface m aterials for monitoring gases. In addition\, the potential of 3D printing and other additive manufacturing techniques will be discussed in the nanom aterials concept to empower the microwave/RFID -based sensors.\n\nCo-spons ored by: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid\n\nSpeaker(s): Mohammad Zarifi\, Daniel\n\nBldg: Salon de Grados Padre Soler\, Escuela Politécnica Superi or\, Avda.
