Abstract

Poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly (styrene sulphonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is the most commonly used conducting polymer in organic LEDs, photovoltaics and sensor applications. We studied the humidity sensing properties of this polymer and its nanocomposites. It has been found that chemically treated single walled carbon nanotubes and PEDOT:PSS polymer nanocomposites shows good humidity sensing properties.
