ST2008: The Effect Of Humidity On The Electrical Properties Of Polymer-Based Sensors

NURAIN NATASHA BINTI BADAROZAMAN Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia

The conductive polymers polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrene (PPy) are becoming more and more popular in the development of humidity sensors because of their high sensitivity to variations in relative humidity (RH). The absorption of water molecules by these special polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrene (PPy) polymers results in modifications to electrical characteristics like resistance and conductivity. These humidity sensors are crucial for a number of applications, such as smart agriculture, moisture monitoring in building materials, and air quality monitoring. Therefore, it is essential to comprehend how humidity affects the electrical characteristics of polymers in order to develop more effective and responsive sensors in the modern day.
