Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a moisture sensitive element excellent in the long-term reliability with a high detection accuracy, by providing a porous organic high polymer film subjected to a hydrophilic processing and an electrode layer set on both main surfaces thereof. CONSTITUTION:A porous organic high polymer film subjected to a hydrophilic processing herein used may be any porous organic high polymer film if subjected to a generally known hydrophilic processing. The porous organic high polymer film herein used may be any organic high polymer film with a porocity. The hydrophilic processing herein used is, for example, a surfactant processing, oxidation by discharge in oxygen and fuming sulfuric acid processing. On the other hand, an electrode layer may be made of any material generally used for electrode if formed in a layer. The use of precious metal, namely, Au, Ag and At groups enables the making of a moisture sensitive element with excellent corrosion resistance.

(Prior art) Various methods for detecting atmospheric humidity have been proposed in the past.
It has been put into practical use. In recent years, moisture sensing elements that can directly electrically detect relative humidity have been attracting attention.
