Abstract

Capacitive sensors can be used to monitor changes in materials by monitoring complex permittivity. Inductively coupled passive resonance sensors provide means to make short range wireless permittivity measurements if the sensors are embedded in the tested material. In this study, inductively coupled sensors were embedded in biodegradable polymers, which are important materials in regenerative medicine. However, it is challenging to observe their decay especially in vivo. After preparing the samples by compression moulding, the encapsulated sensors and a reference series were immersed in buffer solution. The signals from the passive resonance sensors were measured for eight weeks. In addition, mechanical and chemical testing was periodically carried out to monitor the state of the reference series. The wirelessly measured signals are compared with water absorption, flexural modulus, glass transition temperature and viscosity.
