Relative Humidity
Relative humidity (RH) is the amount of water
vapor in a volume of air as a proportion of the
amount of water vapor the same volume of air
will hold at saturation (100% RH) at any given
temperature

Capacitance Polymer
Humidity Sensors
Works similar to a plate capacitor
Consists of hygroscopic polymer between two
electrodes
One of the electrodes is a sensing surface
Porous to allow water to pass in and out of polymer
Keeps out condensation and contaminants
As polymer absorbs water, its dielectric constant
changes, creating changes in capacitance proportional
to changes in relative humidity
