Abstract: Three resistance type humidity sensors (polyethyl-enimine, polyethyl-ammonium salt and PEO) were studied at various temperatures and humidities by 1HNMR. The hu miditive sensibility mechanism of these sensors was proposed through the change of chemical shifts. The active hydrogen in the three materials reacts with H2O to form new active hydro gen, and the exchange interaction of new active hydrogen with old ones is very fast. At the same time, the current carriers are generated. As a result, the resistance of materials is de creased with raising humidity.

Key words: Polyethyl enimine, Polyethylene-ammonium salt, PEO, Humidity sensor, 1HNMR
