Polyvinyl alcohol cryogel phantoms of biological tissues for wideband operation at microwave frequencies.

The aim of this work is to provide a methodology to model the dielectric properties of human tissues based on phantoms prepared with an aqueous solution, in a semi-solid form, by using off-the-shelf components. Polyvinyl alcohol cryogel (PVA-C) has been employed as a novel gelling agent in the fabri...
