The dielectric spectroscopy (DS) measurement is an attractive noninvasive method to reveal the intrinsic information of biological materials and cell cultures. However, the presence of a double layer due to electrode polarization within the lower RF and microwave range significantly affects the accurate analysis of dielectric properties of ionic liquids. In this paper, we measure the broadband DS of five saline solutions with a microfluidic coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line sensor across the frequency range from 40 kHz to 110 GHz. Derived from a parallel-plate structure that is transformed from the quasi-TEM CPW sensor through a conformal mapping technique, a broadband spectroscopy modeling method is proposed, where a Cole-Cole function or a constant phase element formula is used depending on the ionic concentrations and the measurement window. Validation analysis on the five saline solutions demonstrates the capability of the modeling method in separating relaxation properties of the bulk sample from the double-layer effects.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has great potential for laboratory blood tests. The overall aim of this study is to develop a microfluidic sensor for determining the physical properties and hematological parameters of blood based on its dielectric spectra. Impedance was measured in flowing blood to prevent aggregation and sedimentation at frequencies between 40 Hz and 110 MHz.

This research examines the possibility of palm oil and oil palm trunk biochar (OPTB) from pyrolysis effectively serving as alternative processing oils and fillers, substituting petroleum-based counterparts in natural rubber (NR) composites. Chemical, elemental, surface and morphological analyses were used to characterize both carbon black (CB) and OPTB, by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) gas porosimetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of OPTB contents from 0 to 100 parts per hundred rubber (phr) on thermal, dielectric, dynamic mechanical, and cure characteristics, and the key mechanical properties of particulate NR-composites were investigated.

Terahertz radiation patterns can be registered using various detectors; however, in most cases, the scanning resolution is limited. Thus, we propose an alternative method for the detailed scanning of terahertz light field distributions after passing simple and complex structures. Our method relies on using a dielectric waveguide to achieve better sampling resolution.
