Abstract
Humidity-sensing characteristics of Teflon® (PTFE) after etching its surface with sodium-naphthalene complex are reported. The change in impedance with relative humidity of the treated films is studied in various extremely dry gaseous atmospheres, viz. Ar, N2, H2 and O2 and also in the presence of moist air. It was observed that the electrical conduction of the films increases by four orders of magnitude as the relative humidity varied from 20% to 80%. The results were analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infra-red techniques. Possible models of the reaction and the chemical behaviour of the sample in humid conditions are discussed.
