Abstract

A highly flexible porous ionic membrane (PIM) is fabricated from a polyvinyl alcohol/KOH polymer gel electrolyte, showing well‐defined 3D porous structure. The conductance of the PIM changes more than 70 times as the relative humidity (RH) increases from 10.89% to 81.75% with fast and reversible response at room temperature. In addition, the PIM‐based sensor is insensitive to temperature (0–95 °C) and pressure (0–6.8 kPa) change, which indicates that it can be used as highly selective flexible humidity sensor. A noncontact switch system containing PIM‐based sensor is assembled, and results show that the switch responds favorably to RH change caused by an approaching finger. Moreover, an attachable smart label using PIM‐based sensor is explored to measure the water contents of human skin, which shows a great linear relationship between the sensitivity of the sensor and the facial water contents measured by a commercial reference device.

  • Encapsulation of hydrogel sensors with elastomeric materials is an effective approach to prevent the evaporation of water from hydrogels.

    “The encapsulation of hydrogel sensors with elastomeric materials is an effective approach to prevent the evaporation of water from hydrogels”

    From Functionalized Hydrogel-Based Wearable Gas and Humidity Sensors. (2023) · cites this paper as [154]

    The Results and Discussion section describes a nonporous PDMS outer layer that prevents interference from ambient humidity, not evaporation of water from a hydrogel. The paper also describes drying a PVA/KOH gel to make a porous membrane. Searches for elastomer encapsulation and prevention of hydrogel water evaporation found no passage addressing the claim; page numbers were not supplied. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
