Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Temperature sensors, pressure sensors, methods of making the same, and methods of detecting pressures and temperatures using the same are provided. In an embodiment, the temperature sensor includes a ceramic coil inductor having a first end plate and a second end plate, wherein the ceramic coil inductor is formed of a ceramic composite that comprises carbon nanotubes or, carbon nanofibers, or a combination of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers thereof dispersed in a ceramic matrix; and a thin film polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) nanocomposite disposed between the first and the second end plates, wherein the thin film PDC nanocomposite has a dielectric constant that increases monotonically with temperature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A temperature sensor comprising: a ceramic coil inductor having a first end plate and a second end plate, wherein the ceramic coil inductor is formed of a ceramic composite that comprises carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, or a combination thereof dispersed in a ceramic matrix; and a thin film polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) nanocomposite disposed between the first and the second end plates, wherein the thin film PDC nanocomposite has a dielectric constant that increases monotonically with temperature. 2. The temperature sensor of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic coil inductor is configured to communicate with an external radio frequency antenna. 3. The temperature sensor of claim 1 , further comprising a patch antenna configured to communicate with an external radio frequency antenna, wherein the patch antenna is attached to the first end plate of the ceramic coil inductor. 4. The temperature sensor of claim 1 , wherein the volume fraction of carbon nanotubes in the ceramic composite is about 15% to about 70%. 5. The temperature sensor of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic matrix comprises a PDC material. 6. The temperature sensor of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic composite comprises single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, or a combination thereof. 7. A method of detecting a change in temperature, the method comprising: placing one or more temperature sensors of claim 1 in an environment; and measuring a frequency shift of an electromagnetic signal induced in the ceramic coil to detect a change in temperature of the environment. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more temperature sensors are configured to detect the change in temperature in the environment with a temperature in the range from about 25° C. to about 1000° C.
