Swinburne scientists develop 3D printed biosensing hybrid-liquid RFID tags

Researchers from the Swinburne University of Technology have developed a novel 3D printed polymer-liquid hybrid Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antenna.

Created using a low-cost FDM fabrication technique, the team’s new detection device features microfluidic channels, that allow its polarization to be changed using different ionic fluids.

The scientists have specifically designed their tag to be utilized within embedded systems, potentially making it ideal for biological or chemical monitoring applications.
