Dataset for "Design optimization of a phase-change capacitive sensor for irreversible temperature threshold monitoring and its eco-friendly and wireless implementation"

This dataset contains the data collected during the SNSF BRIDGE GREENsPACK project (Grant no. 187223) in association with the recent publication entitled “Design optimization of a phase-change capacitive sensor for irreversible temperature threshold monitoring and its eco-friendly and wireless implementation”. This work aims to study the capacitive response of a resonating capacitive device coated with phase changing material (jojoba oil) as it melts when crossing its melting temperature. Several configuration were simulated with different electrode spacing, oil volume and encapsulation thickness and the induced changes in capacitance were tested experimentaly. An eco-friendly implementation of the optimized spiral resonating devices was tested wirelessly over a custom made near field antenna and the frequency of resonance was measured as the oil melted over the structure, irreversibly changing its resonance frequency. The data that was collected in the frame of this work is present in this repository. More information about the content of the dataset is present in the included README file.
