On the project

The goal of this proposal is to integrate modified TiO2 nanotube structures into the active region of microwave resonators as a re-usable and selective microwave sensing matrix for detection of various compounds. Surface modification of the TNT layers and thermal annealing at different temperatures will be used to optimize sensing response for emerging and most promising sensing applications in aerospace, automobile, safety, biomedical. The key advantage of the microwave sensors is their ability to operate without interfering with or destroying the target compound of the sensin application.
