- Abstract
- In this work, we present a proof-of-concept hydrogel-based sensor system capable of wireless biochemical sensing through measuring backscattered ultrasound. The system consists of silica-nanoparticle embedded hydrogel deposited on a thin glass substrate, presenting two interfaces for backscattering (tissue/hydrogel and hydrogel/glass), which allows for system output to be invariant under the change in acoustic properties (e.g. attenuation, reflection) of the intervening biological tissue. We characterize the effect of silica nanoparticles (acoustic contrast agents) loading on the hydrogel's swelling ratio and its ultrasonic backscattering properties. We demonstrate a wireless pH measurement using dual modes of interrogations, reflection ratio and time delay. The ultrasonic hydrogel pH sensor is demonstrated with a sensing resolution of 0.2 pH level change with a wireless sensing distance around 10 cm. © 2020 IEEE.
