Optical Humidity Sensor Based on Tapered Fiber with Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes Slurry

We demonstrated performance comparison of optical humidity sensor for bare and Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) slurry coated tapered optical fiber. The starting material for MWCNTs slurry is MWCNTs- acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) based fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer filamen...
