摘要

Numerous studies have been reported on the polylactic acid substrate with Cu patch/ ground plane-based microstrip patch antenna (MPA) for sensing applications. But hitherto, little has been reported on comparing sensing capability with different patch/ ground plane materials for the healing/ medicinal monitoring of comminuted fractures in canines based on the MPA concept. This study highlights the sensing capability comparison of three different patch/ ground plane materials (Ag, 17 − 4 precipitate hardened stainless steel, and Cu) with polylactic acid substrate followed by in-vitro (corrosion) analysis for medicinal monitoring of comminuted fractures in canines. The prepared sensor may be used as a novel cerclage strip per the MPA concept. The results suggest that with an increase in infill density, the dielectric constant of polylactic acid substrate increases and resonance frequency decreases (for all three selected patch/ ground plane materials), which may be used to ascertain the medicinal monitoring for comminuted fractures in canines. The thermal characteristics of the cerclage strip were also ascertained for autoclaving requirements. It has been observed that the Ag patch and ground plane-based cerclage strip sensor shows better results (0.0001408 mm/year) followed by 17-4PH SS (0.0003517 mm/year) and Cu (0.001264 mm/year) for long-term implant applications. The acceptable specific absorption ratio (< 1.6 W/kg) was also observed for all three selected patch and ground plane materials.
