Description

Book Synopsis

Because of unique water properties, humidity affects many living organisms, including humans and materials. Humidity control is important in various fields, from production management to creating a comfortable living environment. The second volume of The Handbook of Humidity Measurement is entirely devoted to the consideration of different types of solid-state devices developed for humidity measurement. This volume discusses the advantages and disadvantages about the capacitive, resistive, gravimetric, hygrometric, field ionization, microwave, Schottky barrier, Kelvin probe, field-effect transistor, solid-state electrochemical, and thermal conductivity-based humidity sensors.

Additional features include:

  • Provides a comprehensive analysis of the properties of humidity-sensitive materials, used for the development of such devices.

  • Describes numerous strategies for the fabrication and characterization of humidity sensitive materials
