| Abstract: | Films of differently modified PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), TA (phthalocyaninosilicon) and Nafion in different ionic forms (H+, Li+, and Na+) have been prepared by using casting methods. Impedance changes of the films with relative humidity are examined. The results demonstrate that the content and hydrophilicity of the hydrophilic group in PVA, ionization of TA, and the cation in Nafion have significant effects on sensing properties of the films. |
