Enhancing Polyantimonic-Based Materials’ Moisture Response with Binder Content ...

Humidity sensors are of huge importance in diverse domains. Several types of materials present a moisture-sensing capacity; however, frequently, their electrical response does not display time stability. Due to its high thermal stability, high ionic conductivity, and different conduction mechanism contributing to its overall conductivity, polyantimonic acid (PAA) is seen as a promising material for humidity-sen...

The goal of this study was to explore the psychometric properties (difficulty, reliability, a...
