Capacitance and Resistivity Measurements of Polythiophene /Metallic Nanoparticles-based Humidity Sensors

Radio-frequency capacitance spectroscopy of metallic nanoparticles

Recent years have seen great progress in our understanding of the electronic properties of nanomaterials in which at least one dimension measures less than 100 nm. However, contacting true nanometer scale materials such as individual molecules or nanoparticles remains a challenge as even state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques such as electron-beam lithography have a resolution of a few nm ...

Fabrication of Relative Humidity Sensors based on Polyimide Nanoparticles

Fabrication and Characterization of Polymer Blend Doped With Metal Carbide Nanoparticles for Humidity Sensors

Nanocomposites films of (polymer blend-ceramics) were prepared from (PVA-PAA) blend and (PVA-PAA) blend doped with niobium carbide nanoparticles for humidity sensors have low cost, easy fabrication, high sensitivity, lightweight and high corrosion resistance. The structural, electrical and optical properties of (PVA-PAA-NbC) nanocomposites have been studied. The D.C electrical properties of (PV...

Polyimide-Coated Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Humidity Measurements

Humidity is one of important environmental parameters, which refers to the water vapor content in the air. As one of the fundamental abiotic factors, humidity determines an environment where animals and plants can thrive, also influences the human life. There are three items commonly used to describe humidity, which are absolute humidity (AH), relative humidity (RH) and specific humidity (SH) [...

Phthalocyanine Hybrid Humidity Sensors Based on Carbon Nanoparticles and Substituted Phthalocanines

New type of humidity sensor based on Carbon thin film active nano layers, modified with sodium salt of sulfonated Nickel phthalocyanine is presented. The sensor shows high sensitivity due to the high surface area of Carbon nanoparticles, good long-time stability and sensitivity in the range from 20 to 85 % relative humidity (RH). The response is linear in semilogarithmic plot – logarithm of imp...
