Material with response to moisture and electrical changes?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the development of a moisture sensor, specifically a hygrometer, which responds to moisture and electrical changes. The user seeks to create a unique sensor, diverging from common Arduino-based moisture sensors. Various types of hygrometers are identified, including capacitive, resistive, thermal, gravimetric, and optical sensors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of specificity in inquiries to facilitate better responses.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hygrometer types: capacitive, resistive, thermal, gravimetric, optical
  • Familiarity with Arduino and its applications in sensor development
  • Basic knowledge of electrical properties related to moisture detection
  • Experience with sensor design and prototyping
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the design and functionality of capacitive hygrometers
  • Explore the differences between resistive and thermal hygrometers
  • Investigate the use of optical sensors in moisture detection
  • Learn about integrating hygrometers with Arduino for data collection
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, hobbyists developing moisture sensors, and anyone interested in creating innovative moisture detection devices.

TL;DR
I want to know what is the material that has a moisture and electrical properties response ?
I want to know what is the material that has a moisture and electrical properties response ?

Do I have an idea to create an electrical device that is related to moisture using some materials that are responsive to moisture and electrical properties

Please be more specific. Are you trying to make a moisture sensor? Almost all electrical devices stop working if you dunk them in water. We can't guess what you mean.
