“…It is interesting to note that, due to the electrode structure used, the presented work shows the fastest response time of 3 min among resistive type sensors [10,11,12]. Furthermore, it is the only gas sensor among the reported fully-printed sensors that not only has wireless sensing capability but also identification functionality [14,15,16,17,18].…”

“…Organic flexible substrates such as paper and plastic are regularly being used to design antennas, sensors, and chipless RFID tags [10,11,12,13,21,22,23,24,25,26]. More specifically, paper, due to it lower cost and scalability to roll-to-roll and reel-to-reel printing has become a preferable choice for inkjet printing.…”

“…In the last few years, RFID has transitioned from a mere identification technology to a versatile platform that has been used for tracking, localization, and remote sensing. In the last of these categories, RFID has been demonstrated for wireless gas and humidity sensing [10,11,12]. In addition, many similar inkjet-printed sensors, without RFID functionality, have also been presented on various substrates such as paper, polyimide, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [13,14,15,16,17,18].…”

“…In addition, many similar inkjet-printed sensors, without RFID functionality, have also been presented on various substrates such as paper, polyimide, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [13,14,15,16,17,18]. Among these sensors, resistive response types tend to have a slow response time (~60 min) [10,11]. On the other hand, capacitive response type sensors have a faster response time (<10 min); however, their integration with antenna for remote identification has not been widely published [14,15,16,17,18,19].…”

An inkjet-printed, fully passive sensor capable of either humidity or gas sensing is presented herein. The sensor is composed of an interdigitated electrode, a customized printable gas sensitive ink and a specialized dipole antenna for wireless sensing. The interdigitated electrode printed on a paper substrate provides the base conductivity that varies during the sensing process. Aided by the porous nature of the substrate, a change in relative humidity from 18% to 88% decreases the electrode resistance from a few Mega-ohms to the kilo-ohm range. For gas sensing, an additional copper acetate-based customized ink is printed on top of the electrode, which, upon reaction with hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) changes, both the optical and the electrical properties of the electrode. A fast response time of 3 min is achieved at room temperature for a H2S concentration of 10 ppm at a relative humidity (RH) of 45%. The passive wireless sensing is enabled through an antenna in which the inner loop takes care of conductivity changes in the 4–5 GHz band, whereas the outer-dipole arm is used for chipless identification in the 2–3 GHz band.

“…It was found that the largest change in response was caused by high temperature and humidity, resulting in an increased conductivity and losses due to the added water content in the paper. Work has been done into the investigation of various paper coatings and their change with humidity, and it was found that the interaction between the ink solvent and the paper coating greatly altered the resistance of devices and also its sensitivity to humidity . An investigation into the effect of humidity on copper tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine films on paper substrates illustrated the water pathways in the cellulose fibres which allow ionic species to flow .…”

This paper addresses one of the key issues in using paper electronics at microwave frequencies. As paper is hygroscopic, the varying moisture content can lead to differing dielectric and even conductive properties of paper electronics and must be taken into consideration in any device design. In this work, coplanar waveguides (CPWs) have been screen printed using silver ink on matt paper. Increasing the relative humidity between 40 and 90% is shown to increase the losses, decrease the propagation velocity and decrease the characteristic impedance of CPWs. The effect of water on both silver flake ink and the matt paper used in this work are considered, and it is shown that the change in permittivity of the substrate as a result of absorbed water within paper is the most dominant factor on the microwave characteristics. The reported findings should be considered in paper‐based applications at microwave frequencies, as the changes in transmission‐line parameters can lead to drastic variations in device and system operation.
