Abstract :
In this paper Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube (CNT) are examined for the design of a passive and maintenance-free wireless RFID sensor. CNT buckypaper is characterized from a dielectric and a sensititvity point of view, using an indirect way, by using antenna measurement and simulations in a controlled medium. A CNT-based prototype RFID tag is then described as the featured maintenance free sensor and experimentally verified for its applicability and sensitivity towards NH3.
