Abstract:
A capacitive relative humidity sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, where at least the one of the electrodes is a water-permeable electrode. The electrodes act in conjunction with a water-sensitive hygroscopic dielectric material. The design enables low-cost and simple fabrication of fast-responding and stable relative humidity sensors using digital fabrication techniques.
