The use of different types of surface modified polymers such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) as humidity sensors has been investigated. Some of these surface functionalised polymers after controlled sulphonation have promising humidity-dependent resistance changes (10 9–10 6 Ω with a cha...
