Amide-based Donor-acceptor Polymers for Sensor Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)Organic semiconductors, especially polymerized organic semiconductors, are suitable for manufacturing low-cost electronic products on flexible lightweight substrates through a high throughput roll-to-roll printing process. ... -
A Framework to Simulate and Improve Terahertz Quantum Well Photodetectors
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)A wide range of applications have been recognized for terahertz radiations. In fact, medical imaging, homeland security screening, very high-speed wireless telecommunications systems and even drug and gas detection are ... -
Nanofabrication and its application in plasmonic chemical and bio-sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2014-03-04)This thesis is focused on nanofabrication and its application in plasmonic chemical and bio- sensors. The contribution thus is the development of novel nanofabrication techniques and nano- structures for the sensors based ... -
Nature-Inspired Polymers: Promising Materials for OTFT-Based Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-03)The concept of an organic thin film transistor was first introduced in the late 1980s and research was directed toward two key merits of performance, field-effect mobility and current ON/OFF ratio. Today these two key ... -
Performance and Degradation of a Battery-Free Water Leak Detection Device
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-21)Water waste is one of the major causes of water scarcity, and it has become an alarming issue these days. According to the reports from UNICEF, it is estimated that by early 2025, half of the world's population may be ... -
Recent progress in nanomaterial-enhanced fluorescence polarization/anisotropy sensors
(Elsevier, 2019-09)As a promising signaling transduction approach, fluorescence polarization (FP)/fluorescence anisotropy (FA), provides a powerful quantitative tool for the rotational motion of fluorescently labeled molecules in chemical ... -
Single and Dual-Parameter Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Embedded in Metallic Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-04)Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are optical fiber sensors that can be used to measure both strain and temperature. Due to their robustness, FBG sensors can be more easily embedded into materials than traditional electronic ... -
Solar Panel Anomaly Detection and Classification
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-17)The number of solar panels deployed worldwide has rapidly increased. Solar panels are often placed in areas not easily accessible. It is also difficult for panel owners to be aware of their operating condition. Many ... -
Terahertz Surface Plasmon Polariton-like Surface Waves for Sensing Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-30)Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic surface waves coupled to electron plasma oscillation of metals at a metal-dielectric interface. At optical frequencies, these modes are of great interest because of their high ...
