Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high quality element of which the function is not lowered even by the use thereof in a high humidity atmosphere, by reacting a polymer having a pyridyl group with dihalogenated hydrocarbon under heating to form said polymer into a crosslinked type molecular structure and covering an electrode with the crosslinked polymer. CONSTITUTION:A polymer having a pyridyl group, for example, poly-4-vinyl pyridine and dihalogenated hydrocarbon, for example, 1,4-dibromobutane are dissolved in a methanol solvent and the resulting solution is applied to the good opposed electrodes of an alumina substrate so as to stradle both electrodes and heated. The pyridyl group of the polymer and dibromobutane are crosslinked by said heating to form a polymer represented by formula and this polymer is used as a humidity-sensitive film to cover the electrodes. Because the electrodes are covered with the humidity-sensitive film of the crosslinked pyridyl group-containing polymer, this humidity-sensitive element can be used in a wide range of a humidity region without causing the lowering in capacity.

Moreover, what is shown in FIG. 2 shows the results of a water resistance test in which the impedance was measured in atmospheres with different humidity after the moisture sensing element of the present invention was immersed in water for different times. The impedance was measured at each humidity after being immersed in water, and the impedance was similarly measured at each humidity for those soaked for 30 minutes and 60 minutes, but as is clear from the graph, the impedance remained unchanged with almost no influence of humidity. It turns out that.

This shows that the device of the present invention has stable moisture-sensitive characteristics without changing the moisture-sensitive film due to humidity, that is, moisture.For convenience, as shown by the dotted line, one layer of uncrosslinked polyvinylpyridine was replaced with butyl bromide. When an element consisting of a quaternized moisture-sensitive film is tested under the same conditions as above, it changes significantly,
