Humidity-Sensitive Characteristics and Reliabilities of Polymeric Humidity Sensor Containing Phosphonium Salts

포스포늄 염을 가진 고분자 습도센서의 감습 특성 및 신뢰성

Vinylbenzyl triphenyl phosphonium chloride(VTPC)/styrenes=3.7 copolymer was prepared for the moisture-absorptive polyelectrolyte dew sensor containing phosphonium salts. The humid membrane was fabricated on the gold/alumina electrode by dipping. The impedances were $11M{\Omega}$, $980k{\Omega}$, $50k{\Omega}$, and $11k{\Omega}$ at 70%RH, 80%RH, 90%RH and 95%RH, respectively, at $25^{\circ}C$ and the humidity-sensitive charactristic was suitable for the dew sensor. The temperature-dependent coefficient between $15^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ was found to be $-0.25%RH/^{\circ}C$ and the hysteresis falled in the ${\pm}2%RH$ range. The response time was found to be 45 sec for the relative humidity ranging from 70%RH to 98%RH at $25^{\circ}C$. The reliabilities such as temperature cycle, humidity cycle, high temperature and humidity resistance, electrical load stability, stability of long-term storage and water durability were measured and evaluated for the application as a dew sensor.

포스포늄 염을 포함하는 감습성 전해질 고분자 결로센서를 vinylbenzyl triphenyl phosphonium chloride(VTPC)/styrene=3/7의 공중합체로부터 제조하였다. 감습막은 금/알루미나 전극에 침적법에 의하여 도포하였으며 $25^{\circ}C$의 70%RH, 80%RH, 90%RH, 그리고 95% RH에서 임피던스는 $11M{\Omega}$, $980k{\Omega}$, $50k{\Omega}$, 그리고 $11k{\Omega}$를 각각 보여 주어 감습 특성은 결로 센서로서의 특성에 매우 적합하였으며 $15{\sim}35^{\circ}C$에서 온도 의존성 계수는 $-0.25%RH/^{\circ}C$이었으며 히스테리시스는 ${\pm}2%RH$ 이내에 존재하였다. 응답 속도는 70%RH에서 98%RH로 변화할 때 45초이었다. 신뢰성 시험으로서 온도 사이클, 습도 사이클, 고온 고습 저항성, 전기 인가, 장기 방치, 그리고 내수성을 측정하여 결로 센서로서의 적합성을 평가하였다.
