Abstract
New photo-crosslinkable benzophenone-containing a polyelectrolyte was prepared by the copolymerization of [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl propyl ammonium bromide (AEPAB), styrene (ST), 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and 4-acryloxybenzophenone (BPA). Pretreatment of the alumina substrate with 4-(3-triethoxysilylpropyloxy) benzophenone (2) containing a silane-coupling agent was performed to anchor the humidity-sensitive membrane to the alumina substrate through a covalent bond. The sensors were irradiated with UV light, causing the electronically excited benzophenone molecules to undergo a crosslinking reaction. The photo-crosslinked copolymer AEPAB/ST/HEMA/BPA=70/23/5/2 showed a resistance of 6.8 M–0.882 k between 20 and 95%RH. The water durability, long-term stability under various environments, hysteresis and response and recovery times were measured and evaluated as water durable humidity sensors.
