Multi-walled carbon nanotubes doped Poly(Methyl MethAcrylate) microfiber for relative humidity sensing

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) doped Poly(Methyl MethAcrylate) (PMMA) microfiber was proposed and demonstrated for relative humidity sensing. It was prepared through a direct drawing technique to achieve a diameter of 5 μm and a length of 5 mm. As the relative humidity increases from 45% to...
