Article Abstract
A new type of capacitive humidity sensor is introduced in this paper. The sensor consists of two plate electrodes coated with MWCNT films and four pieces of isolating medium at the four corners of the sensor. According to capillary condensation, the capacitance signal of the sensor is sensitive to relative humidity (RH), which could be transformed to voltage signal by a capacitance to voltage converter circuit. The sensor is tested using different saturated saline solutions at the ambient temperature of 25 °C, which yielded approximately 11% to 97% RH, respectively. The function of the MWCNT films, the effect of electrode distance, the temperature character and the repeatability of the sensor are discussed in this paper.

Because of their tunable refractive index and surface functionalities, biopolymers have emerged as excellent candidates for the fabrication of sustainable optical fibers. To date, the focus has been on identifying suitable biopolymers for optical fiber fabrication and their associated waveguiding properties. Despite a few studies showing their potential for short-distance applications and humidity sensing, the quantitative sensing of environmental parameters using biopolymer optical fibers has not been reported.

This research investigates the fabrication of surfactant-mixed tin oxide (SnO) nanostructured thin films on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via hydrothermal synthesis, focusing on their structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties for sensor applications. To examine the effect of surfactant concentration, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was incorporated at varying weight percentages (0%, 6%, 11%, 16%, and 20%), resulting in five distinct sensor samples, labelled SnO-1, SnO-2, SnO-3, SnO-4, and SnO-5, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms a tunable crystallite size from 12.

The rapid development of flexible electronics resulted in a surge in the generation of e-waste, which stimulated a strong demand for environmentally friendly polymer substrates. Developing mechanically robust and recyclable polymer substrates is a promising approach, but remains an ongoing challenge due to the conflict in intrinsic mechanisms of that the weak noncovalent bonds required for recyclability resulting in poor mechanical strength. Herein, we design a dynamic hard domains strategy to develop a cellulose/castor oil-derived fully bio-based thermoset elastomer with excellent mechanical robustness, recyclability, and biodegradation performance for flexible electronic substrates.
