Patent number: 11861437Abstract: A method of detecting a stimulus can include detecting an output from a radio frequency identification tag including a sensor. A smartphone-based sensing strategy can use chemiresponsive nanomaterials integrated into the circuitry of commercial Near Field Communication tags to achieve non-line-of-sight, portable, and inexpensive detection and discrimination of gas phase chemicals (e.g., ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, cyclohexanone, and water) at part-per-thousand and part-per-million concentrations.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Timothy Manning Swager, Joseph Michael Azzarelli, Jens Bomholdt Ravnsbæk, Katherine Andrea Mirica

Patent number: 11333663Abstract: A tag for detecting an analyte can include a radio frequency identification tag including a sensor portion, the sensor portion configured to change resistivity when the radio frequency identification tag contacts or interacts with an analyte, whereby the resistivity change alters an output of the radio frequency identification tag, wherein the sensor portion includes a circuit, and wherein the sensor portion is configured to activate the circuit or deactivate the circuit when contacted or having interacted with the analyte, where the sensor portion includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes associated with a chemically-degradable polymer. In certain embodiments, the chemically degradable polymer can be a metallo-supramolecular polymer.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Timothy Manning Swager, Joseph Michael Azzarelli, Shinsuke Ishihara
