controlling humid environment conditions in different areas such as meteorology,libraries,research laboratories,museums,food processing,agriculture,electronics,packaging,paper,drugs and medical industry has led to the development of novel humidity sensing materials [1,2].These new generations of humidity sensors are expected to have a preferably wide range of operating temperature,good linearity,high accuracy,sensitivity and selectivity towards water vapors,low hysteresis,fast response and recovery time,easy reproducibil-ity and stability [3].To pursue these characteristics at its best,various materials like polymers,electrolytes,organic–inorganic hybrid composites,ceramics,and metal oxides [4–8]have been explored as humidity sensing materials.It is very difficult for a single material to fulfill all the requirements of being the best sensing material,e.g.ceramic humidity sensors exhibit excellent chemical and thermal stability but they need heating to dehumid-ify themselves [9].Easy production,low cost and good working order in humidity for polymeric materials has made them a good contestant for humidity sensors,but they also suffer from poor anti-jamming property [10]and relative low working range of operating temperature.Therefore various techniques such as doping,nano-casting and grafting [11–13]have been developed to improve the performance of humidity sensors.The inorganic silica,due to its good mechanical strength,high intrinsic impedance,relative inertness to different environments and transparency in UV–Vis spectra has become an attractive material for humidity sensing application.However,due to their low surface area,traditional silica material exhibit low conductance for change in humidity.This is because the change of electrical signal with humidity depends on the adsorption of water molecules existing in the atmosphere on the surface of the sensing materials [14].Therefore,an increased specific surface area and the porous structure of the sensing material are beneficial to the sensing properties of the humidity sensor owing to the exposure of more active sites to the adsorbed water molecules [15].Recently,porous materials with high surface area have been synthesized using surfactants,ionic and cationic block copolymers.Mesoporous materials,because of their high internal and external surface area,large pore volume and ordered pore distributions have emerged out to be promising candidates for humidity sensing applications [16]./10.1016/j.micromeso.2014.06.0071387-1811/Ó2014Elsevier

highly ordered mesoporous silica(M41S and SBA)[17]stimulated intensive studies of‘‘host-guest’’chemistry inside the channels of mesoporous silica[18,19] and found application in catalysis,medical diagnosis,nano electronic/optical devices,sensors and nanomaterial fabrication [20–22].They offer high thermal and mechanical stability along with highly porous,interpenetrating,uniform channels,large and tunable pore sizes(up to30nm)with narrow pore size distribu-tions,large pore volume and high specific surface area(600–1000m2/g)[17]with abundant Si–OH active bonds on the pore walls[23].The pores in the mesoporous silica are open to ambient environment which significantly increases the adsorption efficiency of water vapors onto the porous structure and thus provides an easy path for free travelling of water molecules.Hence, the mesoporous silica is found to have better humidity response than non-porous silica and have become a popular humidity sens-ing material in recent years[12,18].The modification of mesopor-ous silica with nanometallic particles such as Li[11],Al[24]and metal oxides like SnO2[22],ZnO[25]and MoO3[26]have been studied so far for sensing applications.In continuation to our previous report on formation of Ag nano-wires inside mesoporous silica[27],herein,we report a facile and effective route for the synthesis of a highly efficient humidity sensing material consisting of Ag-loaded SBA-15.Different concen-tration of Ag were incorporated into SBA-15and investigated for humidity sensing application for thefirst time.Ag was chosen due to its great surface activity raised from the small nanoparticle size and its excellent response in chemical and biochemical sensors [28,29].The incorporation of Ag into the SBA-15does not destroy the mesoporous structure,and as compared with pure SBA-15, Ag loaded SBA-15displays better humidity sensing property in the whole range of11–92%RH.2.Experimental2.1.MaterialsTetraethoxy orthosilicate[(C2H5O)4Si,TEOS,Sigma Aldrich], Pluronic P123[(EO20PO70EO20),Sigma Aldrich],Silver Nitrate [AgNO3,Fisher Scientific]and HCl(35%,Fisher Scientific)were used as received.2.2.Preparation of mesoporous SBA-15Mesoporous silica SBA-15was synthesized according to the method reported by Zhao et al.[17]using triblock copolymer surfactant Pluronic P123as structure directing agent.The detailed procedure is as follows:4g P123wasfirst dissolved in130mL dis-tilled water at room temperature followed by addition of20mL HCl.The mixture was vigorously stirred at40°C until a homoge-neous solution was formed.8.5g of TEOS was then added dropwise to the above solution followed by continuous stirring at40°C for 24h.The aqueous solution was then sealed in a Teflon lined stain-less steel autoclave and hydrothermally treated at100°C for24h. Subsequently,the autoclave was allowed to cool down to room temperature.The product wasfiltered,washed with deionized water and then transferred to Petri dishes.The drying was done at80°C in an oven for another8h.The product was calcined at 550°C for6h(heating rate1°C/min)in air to remove organic tem-plates and thus pure mesoporous SBA-15was obtained.2.3.Ag-loaded SBA-15The Ag-loaded SBA-15was synthesized by the‘‘synchronous assembly strategy’’[30]following the same route as described for pure SBA-15with only a difference that a specific amount of AgNO3was added into the reaction mixture of P123,water and HCl prior to the addition of TEOS.The stirring was done in dark to prevent reduction of AgNO3.Finally,the calcination of the resultant products also leads to better diffusion of Ag+into the mesopores[31].The influence of Ag loading on the humidity sensing behavior was investigated by varying the loading concentration of Ag in SBA-15.The products were designated as Ag/SBA-15(X),where X was the content of Ag in wt%.The values of X in our experiments were1,3,5,7and10forfive different Ag/SBA-15samples.2.4.CharacterizationSBA-15mesoporous silica was characterized by using various physicochemical techniques.Low Angle X-ray diffraction(LA-XRD)and Wide angle X-ray powder diffraction(XRD)data were acquired on a Bruker D8advance diffractometer using CuK a mono-chromatic radiation(k=1.5418Å)at40kV and40mA.Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectra were recorded in the range of 400–4000cmÀ1using FTIR spectroscopy(Perkin Elmer–Frontier FTIR).The samples were prepared in form of pellet by using spec-troscopic grade KBr,the thickness of the pellet being about 1.33mm.Each spectrum was collected at room temperature under atmospheric pressure with a resolution of4cmÀ1.N2adsorption-desorption measurements were conducted by N2physiosorption (Micrometrices Tristar3000)at77K.The samples were degassed over-night at200°C under vacuum in the degas port of sorption analyzer.The specific surface areas of the samples were evaluated using adsorption data in a relative pressure range from0.05to0.25 using the BET method[32].The pore size distributions were calcu-lated from the adsorption branch of the isotherm using the ther-modynamic based Barrerr–Joyner–Halenda(BJH)method[33]. The total pore volume was calculated as the amount of nitrogen adsorbed at the relative pressure until0.99.High-resolution trans-mission electron microscopy(HR-TEM)images were acquired with a TECNAI G20,operating at200kV.Samples for HR-TEM character-ization were prepared byfinely dispersing the samples in acetone and deposited uniformly on a400mesh copper grid coated with a holey carbonfilm.Morphology of the samples and its elemental composition were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(SEM-EDX,FEI QUANTA200F)at an acceleration voltage of10À15kV. The samples were prepared by distributing the powder samples on a double sided conducting adhesive tape.2.5.Fabrication and performance test of humidity sensorsTo study the humidity response of pure and Ag/SBA-15(X),each powder sample was coated using the drop casting method on a ceramic rod of10mm length and3mm diameter.The metallic ends were attached with wires and connected to a Picoammeter and a constant DC voltage supply.The controlled humidity envi-ronments were achieved using standard supersaturated aqueous solutions of LiCl,MgCl2Á6H2O,CaNO3Á4H2O,NH4NO3,NaCl,KCl and Na2CO3in a closed glass vessel at room temperature which yielded11%,33%,51%,62%,75%,84%and92%relative humidity, respectively[34].The measurement was carried out by placing the sample coated ceramic rod in the glass vessel corresponding to a given relative humidity until the current of the sensing mate-rial reached a stable value.The resistance of the sample with respect to the change in the relative humidity was measured by using Ohm’s law.The variations in the resistance with respect to the increase and decrease in the humidity were measured repeatedly.V.K.Tomer et al./Microporous and Mesoporous Materials197(2014)140–1471413.Results and discussionThe mesoporous silicacasting method[17]in highlysurfactant P123as templatingthe P123tends towards thewhile the hydrophilic endThis diluted spheroidaltime into the thick viscousand polymerize at thethe template removalSBA-15materials[19].Ifare formed simultaneously inhydrophobic environment ofresult,the template removalnoble metal nanoparticlessilica SBA-15materials[35].for the case of Aginner surface of the silicaapproach,wherein the channeltor to prepare thechannels one by one,andmicroreactor.This results incles inside the channel of3.1.Characterization ofThe small angle XRDposites with different Ag wt%be seen that Ag/SBA-15(X)fraction peaks in the lowSBA-15,indicating that all thetwo dimensional,hexagonal,peaks are indexed with(d110=58.51Å)and(200)(dhexagonal space group p6mm,for pure silica SBA-15materialsintensities of Ag/SBA-15(X)tion of metal nanoparticlesliterature[35–37].This isresults in weakening in thefraction peaks shift to higherthe framework due toous channels of SBA-15.Thesetural ordering is reduced continuously[38].A similar phenomenonwas also noted in previous reports[9–11].The wide angle XRD pattern(2h=10°–80°)of pure SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)composites after calcination are presented in Fig.1(b).The broad peak centered at2h=22°is the characteristic band of amorphous silica walls of the pristine material[39].In addition to this broad band,four distinct diffraction peaks at d=2.359,2.047,1.448,and1.237corresponding to(111),(200), (220),and(311)planes of Ag(JCPDS no04-0783)are observed [35].All the reflections correspond to pure silver metal with face centered cubic symmetry and space group Fm 3m.The high inten-sity peak for FCC materials is generally the(111)reflection,which is observed in our sample.In the lower concentrations of(X=1and 3wt%)of Ag nanoparticles the characteristics peaks of Ag are almost invisible,while for X=5wt%,weak diffraction peaks starts appearing at d=2.359and2.047.As the wt%of Ag increased fur-ther(7and10wt%),well resolved characteristics peaks of Ag appeared at d=2.359, 2.047, 1.448,and 1.237which can be indexed to reflections of cubic Ag.The reflection peaks gradually becomes strong with the Ag/SBA-15ratio increased confirming that the amount of Ag in SBA-15enhances too.The physicochemical properties of SBA-15composites as determined by XRD results are given in Table1.The FTIR spectra of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)are shown in Fig.2.The framework bands at1092,808and464cmÀ1are due to asymmetric stretching,symmetric stretching and bend vibra-tions of Si–O–Si bands,respectively[40].The broad band around 3430cmÀ1can be attributed to surface silanols and adsorbed water molecules.The bands at2927and2854cmÀ1are ascribed to asymmetric stretching of C–H species.The bands at1423and 1370cmÀ1correspond to–CH2and symmetric deformation of–CH3species[11].The bands centered around1635and968cmÀ1 can be connected with the stretching vibrations of the Si–OH group [35].It should be noted that the band intensity decreases with suc-cessive loading of Ag nanoparticles in SBA-15andfinally disap-peared in Ag/SBA-15(10)implying that Si–OH groups were changed or consumed.The incorporation of metal into silica frame-work has been deduced from the changes of band intensity located at960–970cmÀ1,and is assigned to stretching vibration of the Si–O–M(Metal)linkage[41,42].Due to metal loading in SBA-15 framework,the Si–O–H replaces with Si–O–M(Metal)and with1.(a)Low-angle and(b)Wide-angle XRD patterns of mesoporous Ag/SBA-X)composites.142the increase of Ag loading in SBA-15,the intensity of this peak decreases.This decrease in band intensity further justifies that many silver species were incorporated into the SBA-15matrix. Other researchers also got the same results[43].The N2adsorption–desorption isotherms and pore size distribu-tion of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)are presented in Fig.3(a).The tex-tural properties of the corresponding samples are given in Table the samples exhibit characteristics type IV curve according the IUPAC classification of sorption isotherms[44]suggesting well uniform mesopores[11,20].The adsorption and desorption iso-therms in Fig.3(a),show a large increase in the relative pressure P0)range from0.64to0.86,which is due to capillary condensa-tion of nitrogen within the mesopores.The sharpness of the inflec-tion step reflects the uniform pore size distribution of both the SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)samples.The hysteresis loops are very close to the H1-type,implying a uniform cylindrical geometry gen-erally exhibited by mesoporous solids[45].Other parametersobtained from the surface area analysis are listed in Table1.When Ag was assembled into mesoporous silica SBA-15,as shown in Fig.3(a),the shape of type IV was still retained,illuminating the mesoporous structure preserved in the sample of Ag/SBA-15.This was consistent with the result of low-angle XRD.The testing results show that the BET surface area decrease with increasing Ag concentration which suggested the incorporation of Ag nano-particles into the pore channels of SBA-15[8,11].The BET surface area for pure SBA-15is733.76and for Ag/SBA-15(X=1,3,5,7, 10)670.95,638.26,603.01,580.93and517.34m2/g,respectively.The pore size distribution curves in Fig.3(b)confirm that the average pore size of SBA-15is8.5nm.It decreases systematically with an increase in loading of Ag nanoparticles in SBA-15.The decrease in pore size could be attributed to the progressive blockage due to the incorporated Ag nanoparticles inside the channels of SBA-15.An increase in the thickness of pore walls of SBA-15with subsequent loading with Ag nanoparticles is also observed in Table1.This increase of thickness of pore walls could be due to a pore-filling effect[46,47]demonstrating that the Ag nanoparticles have been confined inside the channels of SBA-15 [48].Consequently results of LA-XRD,FTIR,N2adsorption-desorption isotherms confirm that the Ag/SBA-15(X)sample possess high structural integrity.In order to gain a deep insight of the pore morphology and distribution of silver nanoparticles,the structural assignment of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)after removal of the surfactant templateFig.2.FTIR spectra of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)composites.3.(a)N2adsorption-desorption isotherms and(b)pore size distributionsSBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)composites.V.K.Tomer et al./Microporous and Mesoporous Materials197(2014)140–147143was investigated by HRTEM and SEM.The TEM images of SBA-15 and Ag/SBA-15(5)in Fig.4(b)exhibit well ordered hexagonal arrays of1D mesoporous channels,confirming that Ag/SBA-15(X) sample has2D p6mm hexagonal mesostructure[17].Due to‘‘syn-chronous assembly strategy’’,TEOS and AgNO3are simultaneously added to the reaction system and mixed evenly by continuous stir-ring.Therefore it is considered that the formed Ag nanoparticles mixed evenly with SBA-15matrix.It can be seen that many highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles are observed in the hexagonal channels of SBA-15.The investigation shows that these nanoparticles are having higher degree of crystallinity and phase purity and also the hexagonal mesostructure remains intact after supported with Ag.The distance between two consecutive centers of hexagonal pores for pure SBA-15as estimated from HRTEM image is13nm. The average thickness of the wall and the pore diameter acquired from the images are around4.2and8.7nm,respectively which is quite consistent with the results obtained from BET surface area analysis and XRD results.The SEM images of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(5)are shown in Fig.4(e and f).The SBA-15sample consists of short rods with a diameter of about500nm.The morphology of SBA-15is well maintained after incorporation of Ag nanoparticles.The EDX results of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(5)are illustrated in Fig.5.No other elements were detected except‘O’and‘Si’,confirm-ing that the samples were composed of pure silica.The EDX spec-trum in Fig.5(a)shows wt%contribution of each element present in the pristine sample.The spectrum in Fig.5(b)is from Ag/SBA-15(5)composite.For5wt%of Ag incorporated into pure SBA-15, approximately55%of the total wt.of Ag is loaded in the channels of SBA-15.The detail results are summarized in Table1,which reveals that the efficiency of Ag loading in SBA-15decreases con-tinuously on account of higher loading of Ag in the matrix.One of the possible reasons for this inversely proportional behavior ofSBA-15.(b)HR-TEM image of hexagonal pattern of mesoporous channels,(c,d)HRTEM image of Ag/SBA-15(5).Fig.5.(a)EDX spectra of SBA-15and(b)Ag/SBA-15(5).experimental Ag loading in matrix to that of theoretical Ag loading might be due to the blockage of pores with successive incorpora-tion of Ag which further leads to the depreciation of effective Si–OH bonding sites for Ag nanoparticles.change,and when the content of Ag was7wt%,there was4order of magnitude change for resistance.This could be possibly due to blockage of SBA-15channels with progressive loading of Ag nano-particles.For higher loading concentration(10wt%)of Ag,only3 order of magnitude change was observed.At such higher loading(a):Humidity sensitive properties of SBA-15and Ag/SBA-15(X)composites.(b)Response and recovery characteristics of Ag/SBA-15(5)composites.(c)Hysteresis Ag/SBA-15(5)composites and(d)Repeated response and recovery characteristics of Ag/SBA-15(5)composites.V.K.Tomer et al./Microporous and Mesoporous Materials197(2014)140–147145Usually,when the sensing material is measured at increasing and decreasing%RH at the same temperature,a hysteresis effect can be observed.Hysteresis being the time lag in the adsorption and desorption process and is usually done to estimate the reliabil-ity of a humidity sensor.Fig.6(c)represents the hysteresis data of Ag/SBA-15(5)at room temperature.The hollow circle line is mea-sured from low RH to high RH,i.e.for adsorption process,and the solid circle line is for desorption process(dehumidification). Almost negligible hysteresis was observed for this material.This indicates a good reliability of the obtained sensor.3.3.Sensing mechanismThe way to understand the mechanism of a humidity sensor is to detect the existence or concentration of water molecule by analyzing the change of electrical character resulted from the interaction between probe(Si–OH,in this case)and H2O molecules. The3-D mesostructure is less likely to obstruct an analyte with ‘‘dead ends’’that more likely happened in2-D structure.Hence, mesoporous structure provides more channels for easy pathways for gas transmission[50],and increase the number of hydroxyl groups.This is the basis for the investigation of mesoporous silica as a humidity sensing material[51].For pure mesoporous SBA-15, due to its highly resistive nature and the decrease of hydroxyl groups from the surface during the heat treating process,a poor humidity sensitive property was shown.Similar results have been reported in literature[52].Owing to the large BET surface area (603m2/g)and pore size(6.65nm)of mesoporous Ag/SBA-15(5) sample,water molecule are not only adsorbed on the outer surface but also on the pore walls of the inner surface.Furthermore,due to the presence of a small amount of chemically absorbed water,the ion conductivity also occurs at low RH.Humidity adsorption processes generally is a sequence of two steps in such composite materials:(a)the transport of water molecules on materials sur-face and its chemical adsorption onto the active sites by means of hydrogen bonding,forming an adsorption complex(at low %RH),and(b)more water molecules are adsorbed and condensed on the surface of the adsorbent to form water layers(at high %RH)[53].In the low%RH region(11–55%),on dry surfaces,only a few water molecules are chemisorbed.The ionic conduction at room temperature mainly occurs through hopping of H3O+ions from site to site across the surface[54].As the water molecules get adsorbed on the silica surface,they are hydrogen bonded to Si–OH groups and a proton may be transferred from a Si–OH group to a water molecule to form H3O+.The energy of formation of H3O+from a bare proton and a water molecule under vacuum suggests that H3O+is more stable than a bare proton.Hence H3O+will be the dominant charge carrier.As suggested in Grothuss chain mechanism[55],H2OþH3Oþ!H3OþþH2Othe transfer of H3O+becomes easier at high%RH.When the RH increases,water vapor grows too.After thefirst chemisorbed water layer,subsequent layers of water molecules are physically adsorbed and condenses tofill a pore.Then,resistance decreased gradually due to adsorption on the external surface and condensation on the inter-particle voids.This sufficient presence of water on the sites favors the hydration of H3O+[54]and the proton mobility becomes more facile and conductive resulting in the significant decrease in resistance.On the other hand,when the Ag metal nano-particles incorporated in SBA-15pore channels are exposed to adsorbed water vapors having lone pair of electrons,oxygen atoms will prefer to adsorb on the Ag nanoparticles by donating their lone-pair of electrons[56],leading to an increase in the number of electrons in the conduction sp band of Ag.This generation of extra electrons on the water layer results in rapid conduction and a sharp decrease in resistance is observed.Thus,at very high%RH, Ag nanoparticles take the credit from H3O+and dominate the charge transfer process.Thus the resistance continuously decreases by more thanfive orders of magnitude compared to the initial resistance.4.ConclusionIn this investigation,a facile technique has been demonstrated to produce novel and sensitive humidity sensor based on Ag/SBA-15(5)sample with some excellent sensing characteristics. Our sensor shows more thanfive orders of magnitude change in the whole92–11%RH range with satisfactory response and recov-ery time viz.100and125s,respectively.The marginal hysteresis of adsorption–desorption counts for its reliability which justifies its potential application as mesoporous humidity sensor.

the dry chamber and is carried to a pressure-modulated infrared sensor.This sensor measures the fraction of infrared energy absorbed by the water vapor and produces an electrical signal,the amplitude of which is proportional to water vapor concentra-tion.The amplitude of the electrical signal produced by the test film is then compared to the signal produced by measurement of a calibration film of known water vapor transmission rate.This information is then used to calculate the rate at which moisture is transmitted through the material being tested.5.Significance and Use5.1The purpose of this test method is to obtain reliable values for the WVTR of plastic film and sheeting.5.2WVTR is an important property of packaging materials and can be directly related to shelf life and packaged product stability.5.3Data from this test method is suitable as a referee method of testing,provided that the purchaser and seller have agreed on sampling procedures,standardization procedures,test conditions,and acceptance criteria.6.Apparatus6.1This method utilizes water vapor transmission appara-tus 4(Fig.1)comprised of the following:6.1.1Diffusion Cell —An assembly consisting of two metal halves which,when closed upon the test specimen,will accurately define a circular area.A typical acceptable diffusion cell area is 50cm 2.The volume enclosed by each cell half,when clamped,is not critical;it should be small enough to allow for rapid gas exchange,but not so small that an unsupported film that happens to sag or buckle will contact thetop or bottom of the cell.A depth of approximately 6mm (0.250in.)has been found to be satisfactory for 50-cm 2cells.6.1.1.1Diffusion Cell O–Ring —An appropriately sized groove machined into the humid chamber side of the diffusion cell retains a neoprene O–ring.The test area is considered to be the area established by the inside contact diameter of the compressed O–ring when the diffusion cell is clamped shut against the test specimen.6.1.1.2Diffusion Cell Sealing Surface —A flat rim around the dry side of the diffusion cell.This is a critical sealing surface against which the test specimen is pressed;it shall be smooth and without radial scratches.6.1.1.3Diffusion Cell Air Passages —Two holes in the dry half of the diffusion cell.This is necessary only in the earlier model WVTR instruments that have a separate conditioning rack and testing chamber.These shall incorporate O–rings suitable for sealing the diffusion cell to the test chamber pneumatic fittings for the introduction and exhaust of air without significant loss or leakage.N OTE 2—Use of Multiple Diffusion Cells —Experience has shown that arrangements using multiple diffusion cells are a practical way to increase the number of measurements that can be obtained in a given time.A separate conditioning rack (Fig.2)may be used that contains a manifold which connects the dry-chamber side of each individual diffusion cell to a dry-air source.Dry air is continually purging the dry chamber of those cells that are connected to the conditioning rack while the humid chamber side is held at a specific relative humidity by distilled water or a saturated-salt solution.It is desirable to thermostatically control the temperature of the conditioning rack as described in 6.1.3.6.1.2Test Chamber —A cavity into which the diffusion cell is inserted.Again,this is necessary only in the earlier model WVTR instruments that have a separate conditioning rack and testing chamber.The test chamber shall incorporate means for clamping the diffusion cell in accurate registration with pneu-matic system openings to the dry-air source and the infrared detector.The chamber shall also provide a thermometer well for the measurement of temperature.6.1.3Diffusion Cell Temperature Control —It is desirable to thermostatically control the temperature of the diffusion cell to within 61°F.A simple resistive heater attached to the station in such a manner as to ensure good thermal contact is adequate4The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this time is Mocon/Modern Controls,Inc.,7500Boone Avenue North,Minneapolis,MN 55428.If you are aware of alternative suppliers,please provide this information to ASTM International Headquarters.Your comments will receive careful consider-ation at a meeting of the responsible technical committee,1which you mayattend.FIG.1MeasuringSystemFIG.2ConditioningSystemfor this purpose.A thermistor sensor and an appropriate control circuit will serve to regulate the temperature unless measure-ments are being made close to ambient temperature.In that case it may be necessary to provide cooling coils to remove some of the heat.6.1.4Flowmeter—A means for regulating theflow of dry air within an operating range of5to100cc/min is required.6.1.5Flow-Switching Valves,for the switching of dry-gas flow streams of the water vapor transmission apparatus.6.1.6Infrared Sensor—A water vapor detector capable of sensing1µg/L of water,or,in other terms,1ppm by volume, or0.002%relative humidity at37.8°C.6.1.7Recording Device—A multirange strip chart recorderor other appropriate instrument for measuring the voltage developed by the signal amplifier.6.1.8Desiccant Drying System,shall be capable of reducing the concentration of water vapor in the gas source down to less than0.5ppm by volume or0.001%relative humidity at 37.8°C.In earlier model WVTR equipment,a separate desic-cant drying system is needed for the conditioning rack and test chamber.6.1.9Flow-Metering Valve—Afine-metering valve capable of controlling the dry-gasflow rate to the test cell when the apparatus is in the“measure’’mode of operation.7.Reagents and Materials7.1Desiccant,4,5for drying gas stream.7.2Absorbent Pads(not critical),such asfilter pads of30 to75mm in diameter.Necessary only in earlier model WVTR equipment that utilizes distilled water or saturated salt solu-tions to generate the desired relative humidity.7.3Distilled Water,for producing100%relative humidity, or various saturated salt solutions to produce other relative humidities as described in Practice E104.Newer WVTR equipment does not require saturated salt solutions.Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for generating relative humid-ity.7.4Reference Film,known WVTR material for system calibration.7.5Sealing Grease,a high-viscosity,silicone stopcock grease or other suitable high-vacuum grease is required for lubrication of O–rings and to seal the specimenfilm in the diffusion cell.7.6Nitrogen Gas,shall be dry and contain not less than 99.5%nitrogen.Needed only with certain WVTR instruments.8.Sampling8.1Select material for testing in accordance with standard methods of sampling applicable to the material under test. Sampling may be done in accordance with Practice D1898. Select samples considered representative of the material to be tested.If the material is of nonsymmetrical construction,the orientation should be noted.9.System Calibration With Reference Film9.1Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibrating the WVTR instrument with a referencefilm.10.Test Procedure10.1Preparation of Apparatus(Fig.1)—If preceding tests have exposed the apparatus to high moisture levels,outgas the system to desorb residual moisture.10.2Number of Specimens Tested—Test enough specimens to characterize package permeation rates but never less than three per sample.10.3Preparation of Test Samples:10.3.1Cut the test specimen to approximately10cm by10 cm(4in.by4in.).10.3.2Measure specimen thickness at four equally spaced points within the test area and at the center in accordance with guidelines described in Test Method D374.10.3.3Lightly grease the cell sealing surface and the cell O–ring.10.3.4For earlier model WVTR systems that require the use of distilled water or saturated salt solutions,insert one to three absorbent pads into the lower half-cell and dampen with distilled water or a desired salt solution.Otherwise,for newer WVTR instruments,follow the manufacturer’s instructions for generating the desired relative humidity.10.3.5Affix the testfilm to the diffusion cell following the manufacturer’s instructions.Fig.3shows the type of diffusion cell used in earlier model WVTR equipment that consisted of a separate conditioning rack and testing chamber.Diffusion cells in newer WVTR equipment are similar to the lower half of the cell displayed in Fig.3.10.3.6If using a separate conditioning rack,clamp the assembled cell in the conditioning rack.Allow thefilm to condition in the diffusion cell until steady state has been attained.If unfamiliar with the material being tested,the operator should investigate the effect of conditioning time to be certain that sufficient time has been allowed for the material to equilibrate under the test conditions(see Note3).10.4Measure the WVTR of thefilm specimen following the manufacturer’s instructions.N OTE3—When testing materials for which the operator has no previous history,additional time must be allowed to assure that true equilibrium has been reached.When in doubt,retest after an additional conditioning interval of several hours.5Linde Molecular Sieve,Type4A

thermometer or thermocouple installed in the test chamber thermometer well.Temperature is a critical parameter affecting the measurement of WVTR.During testing,monitor the temperature,periodically,to the nearest0.5°C.Report the average temperature and the range of temperatures observed during the test.10.6Standby and Shutoff Procedures:10.6.1Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for putting the instrument in standby when not being used.10.6.2When the system is not to be used for an extended period and there are nofilms that require conditioning,the electrical power may be turned off.11.Calculation11.1WVTR—If using a recorder,calculate water vapor transmission rate using the formula:WVTR5C~ES2EO!where:C=a calibration factor expressing rate as a function of voltage(or mV).The value of C is derived from testsof a known referencefilm(Section9),EO=permeation system zero level voltage,andES=equilibrium voltage obtained with the test specimen.Newer computer-controlled systems will automatically cal-culate the WVTR.11.2Permeance—Calculate sample permeance(if required) using the following relationship:Metric Perms5WVTRP w5g/m2·day·mm Hgwhere:WVTR=Specimen water vapor

in accordance with Practice E691were evaluated by eight laboratories.The number of laboratories and materials in this study does not meet the minimum requirements for determin-ing precision prescribed in Practice E691.Of the total eight laboratories that participated in this round robin,one did not report results for the PET sample.Due to equipment limita-tions,onlyfive laboratories were able to measure the water vapor transmission rate of the EVOH material.Of thesefive labs,the data from two laboratories were determined to be outliers in accordance with Practice E178.In addition,due to the type of equipment used,two of the laboratories participat-ing in the round robin actually measured all of the samples at 90%RH and converted the results to100%RH driving force by multiplying by1.11.Precision,characterized by repeatability S r and r,and repro-ducibility S R and R,has been determined for the following materials to be:Materials No.of Labs Average†S r S R r RPET714.00.3

materials having rates up to100g/m2–day.Above that level,a different approach may be required in order to keep the sensor output within design limits.X1.2In general,the testing of a“high transmitter’’requires that means be employed to reduce the concentration of water vapor in the sensor.This may be accomplished in two ways: X1.2.1By increasing theflow of dry gas(possible in earlier model WVTR equipment),orX1.2.2By reducing the area of the testfilm.X1.3Alternatively,apply foil masks with die-cut apertures. These may be applied to both sides of a barrier to reduce the sample area.Metal masks utilizing a neoprene O-ring are yet another alternative.X1.4Each of these methods,when used alone or in combination,serves to reduce the vapor concentration of the air stream.N OTE X1.1—The precision and bias of results obtained with reduced-area masked samples has not been established.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentioned in this ers of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights,and the risk of infringement of such rights,are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed everyfive years and if not revised,either reapproved or withdrawn.Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standards and should be addressed to ASTM International Headquarters.Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technical committee,which you may attend.If you feel that your comments have not received a fair hearing you should make your views known to the ASTM Committee on Standards,at the address shown below.This standard is copyrighted by ASTM International,100Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA19428-2959, United States.Individual reprints(single or multiple copies)of this standard may be obtained by contacting ASTM at the above address or at610-832-9585(phone),610-832-9555(fax),or service@(e-mail);or through the ASTM website().。
Optical humidity sensor based on hollow core fiberM.Y. Mohd Noor*a, N. Khalili b , G.D. Peng a,a School of Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications, The University of New South Wales,Sydney, 2052 Australiab School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, The University of New South Wales,Sydney, 2052 AustraliaABSTRACTWe propose a novel relative humidity (RH) sensor based on hollow core fiber using direct absorption spectroscopic method in this paper. The wavelength scanning around water vapor absorption peak around 1368.59 nm is realized by injecting saw-tooth modulated current to a DFB laser diode. A reference signal is used as a zero absorption baseline and to help reduce the interference from DFB laser source and probed region. The humidity level is determined by the normalized voltage difference between reference signal and sensor signal at the peak of water vapor absorption. We demonstrate that a length of 5 cm hollow core fiber with a fixed small air gap between SMF and hollow core fiber as an opening achieves a humidity detection resolution of around 0.02%RH over the range 0 to 50%RH which does not require the use of any hygroscopic material.Keywords: hollow core fiber, humidity sensing, direct absorption, wavelength scanning1.INTRODUCTIONThe measurement of humidity is required in a range of areas, including meteorology, agriculture, clinical medicine, manufacturing and civil engineering. Optical humidity fiber sensor offer specific advantages compared with their conventional counterparts such as small size and weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference, multi-sensors and remote operation. A wide range of optical fiber humidity sensors have been reported in the literature review. Most of these fiber optic humidity sensors work on the basis of hygroscopic sensing material coated over the optical fiber for modulation1. There are also fiber optic humidity sensor that do not used any hygroscopic material as shown by Lauer2 with a direct spectroscopic technique in open path which the humidity sensing is based on the light attenuation at certain wavelength by using VCSEL light source at 1.84 um band. This humidity sensor is capable to measure wide range of relative humidity variations but required the laser beam alignment and constraint of fiber components in that wavelength emission. Recently, holey fiber has generated much interest in exploiting such fibers for sensing and spectroscopic analysis of gases3, 4. A holey fiber based on interferometer has been adapted for humidity sensing without the use of hygroscopic coating too5 but the range of detection does not cover for low humidity region.In this paper we present a novel fiber optic humidity sensor based on hollow core fiber with direct absorption technique at 1369 nm band to measure relative humidity. A scanning saw-tooth DFB light source is goes through hollow core fiber. One end of the hollow core fiber spliced to standard SMF. A fix small gap on the other end of hollow core fiber is used as an opening for a diffusion hole. A reference signal that act as a zero absorption baseline is used to reduce the interferences from DFB source and probed region. The voltage difference between both signals at peak of water vapor absorption is changes to the variation of the humidity level.The choice of DFB laser emitting at 1369 nm are highly suited for sensitive detection of humidity cause by the strong absorption at this near infrared band and takes advantage of the mature telecommunication technology where fiber coupled lasers and fiber components are readily available. To the best of our knowledge such hollow core fiber based on spectroscopic technique at 1369 nm light emission to measure relative humidity which does not require any hygroscopic material is reported for the first time.2.TARGET ABSORPTION WAVELENGTH SELECTIONA critical important step in the design of an optical absorption sensor is the selection of line absorption. Proper absorption line selection can significantly improve the accuracy and performance of the sensor. There are number ofThird Asia Pacific Optical Sensors Conference, edited by John Canning, Gangding Peng,Proc. of SPIE Vol. 8351, 83510R · © 2012 SPIE · CCC code: 0277-786X/12/$18 · doi: 10.1117/12.915809water vapor absorption bands that have been considered for study, all of which are listed in the HITRAN database 6. Theband of water vapor transitions over the range of wavelengths from 1 and 10 um is shown in figure 1. These water vaporspectrums are extracted from the latest update of HITRAN database for water vapor which is HITRAN 2008 molecularspectroscopic database. Wavelength that have the higher line strength (S) represent relatively stronger absorption featureat that specific wavelength. The strongest absorption band of water vapor is in the mid-infrared region above 5 umwavelength followed by near infrared region absorption band between 2 to 3 µm, 1.8 µm and 1.4 µm band. Althoughmid-infrared transitions in the fundamental vibration bands are ten times stronger than the combination and overtonevibrational transitions in the near infrared, laser and fiber technology is less mature in the mid-infrared than in the mid-infrared. Accordingly, we limit the choice of transitions to the 1.3 to 1.6 µm region where laser and fiber opticstechnology are well developed and readily available.00.511.522.533.5x 10-19Wav elength (µm)S (c m /m o l e c u l e )Figure 1. Water vapor absorption spectra in the 1 to 10 µm region based on the HITRAN database00.20.40.60.811.21.41.61.8x 10-20Wav elength (nm)S (c m /m o l e c u l e )Figure 2. The chosen water vapor line absorption at 1368.59 nmSpecifically, we have chosen to probe the 1368.59 nm water vapor absorption feature to measure relative humidity whicharises from the 212 ←313 rotational line within v 3 + v 2 vibrational band. This is because the reported linestrength value forthe 1368.59 nm absorption feature in the HITRAN database is 1.8 x 10-20 cm/molecule as shown in figure 2 which is oneof the highest in the region 1.3 to 1.6 µm and includes only one transition around this band to avoid transition overlapwith the neighboring transitions when the pressure broadening 7 that could cause complicated absorption measurement.This is the first time absorption line of water vapor around 1369 nm band is used to measure relative humidity.3. WORKING PRINCIPLEA common way to relate the amount of water vapor present in the environment is to take the ratio of the actual watervapor pressure and the saturation water vapor pressure at a specific temperature. The resultant term, known as therelative humidity(RH), simply represents the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere to themaximum amount the atmosphere can hold and if often expressed as a percentage using the following equation 1,Relative Humidity (RH) = %100×wsv P P (1) where P w is the partial pressure of the water vapor and P ws is the saturation water vapor pressure.In this optical absorption humidity sensor, the presence of water vapor is determined according to the Beer-Lambert lawwhere the amount of water vapor is related to the power output 8 asCL o e P P α−= (2) where P is the output signal power, P o the received signal power, α is the absorption coefficient of the water vapor, C isthe amount of water vapor and L is the absorption path length. The power output will decrease when the relativehumidity is increased and vice versa with fix temperature condition. The holey fiber is used as a sensing element. Thetransmissions light that going through the holey fiber will be attenuated or absorb at certain wavelength cause by thewater vapor inside the holey fiber. The use of holey fiber to detect water vapor using direct absorption method isreported for the first time. A small gap between SMF and holey fiber is exposed to atmosphere to allow gas in and out ofthe holey fiber. By using a wide range of scanning wavelength scheme, a narrow-linewidth of DFB laser is tuned notonly the entire absorption feature but also non-absorption feature of water vapor as shown in figure 3 using saw-toothmodulation. A reference signal is constructed by using a reference point of non-absorption of water vapor at both side ofWavelength (nm)O p t i c a l p o w e r (d B m )Voltage (V)Figure 3. Example of a DFB saw-tooth modulation in one scanning periodof the absorption feature in one scanning period. The voltage changing at the peak absorption of water vapor absorptionwavelength is vary when the humidity level changes and defined as∆V = signal Sensor -signal Reference (3)The advantage of using this reference signal as zero absorption baseline is that the resulting ∆V signal is immune to the outside affection such as noise of laser source, fiber loss and unwanted attenuation in the probed region. This is because all these interferences will both affect the sensor and reference signal and therefore the ∆V signal intensity indicates the amount of water vapor independently of the received laser power.4.EXPERIMENTFigure 4. System design and hollow core fiber cross sectionFig. 4 shows the setup to detect relative humidity in atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The water vapor absorption band centered around 1368 nm is one of the strongest in the near infrared region based on the HITRAN database therefore a wavelength scan of the water vapor absorption peak around 1368.59 nm is chosen and realized by saw-tooth modulation current at 200Hz which is injected into distributed-feedback (DFB) laser and the output light from the hollow core fiber detected at photo-detector (Optiphase V500 The signal generation and acquisition, as well as the signal processing is done using a PC equipped with data acquisition (DAQ) card (model: NI-6215) at 50 kHz sampling rate. The scanning range of the absorption feature is around 0.25 nm. The ∆V signal intensity is used to gain a meaningful humidity measurement. In this work, hollow core fiber is picked as the holey fiber as this hollow core fiber can guide over the 98% of the light in the holey regions of the fiber9. The detection of humidity can be realized in bettersensitivity even at low humidity region as almost all the transmission light of hollow core fiber overlap with the air. The hollow core fiber consist of 8 rings of air holes arranged in a hexagonal pattern and one hollow core as depicted in figure 4 and guides light by a photonic bandgap effect. The cladding diameter is around 50 µm. One end of hollow core fiber is spliced to a standard optical fiber (SMF-28) using a fusion splicing machine with splice loss around 1 dB. A default program for splicing single mode fibers with optimized parameters was used to ensure repeatability of theprocess. On the other end, a small gap was adjusted to ~50 µm 10 for efficient filling while keeping good signal coupling efficiency using 3D stages and fixed to the V-groove for a permanent gap between the fibers. This gap is open to ambient atmospheres that act as a diffusion holes. The absorption path is equal to the length of the hollow core fiber that is 5 cm. The humidity response of the sensor is studied at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure by placing it in an airtight enclosure. The humidity in the tight enclosure is varied by using a silica gel that can absorb the water vapor. An electronic relative humidity sensor was used to monitor the temperature and humidity internally for calibration. The maximum humidity that can be achieved in the enclosure is limit to 50%RH (room humidity) as no generation of water vapor involved in the experimental setup.5. RESULTSThe scanning sensor signal is averaging for 4s to reduce the noise and smooth the signals as shown in Fig. 2. The dip of the absorption at 1368.59 nm can be seen clearly in one scanning period.11.522.533.544.5Wavelength (nm)V o l t a g e (V )Figure 5. Sensor and reference signal The absorption in the sensor signal in this figure is caused by the room humidity and a reference signal is constructed based on both wings of absorption feature where there is no absorption of water vapor in these points of region by using combinations of waveform measurement and generation function in the LabVIEW. By analyzing the voltage difference between sensor signal and reference signal at peak absorption of water vapor (∆V) around 1368.59 nm wavelength using a LabVIEW peak-detector function, a meaningful relative humidity reading can be recorded in a normalized value. In this way, the real time measurement can be achieved without any further of the data processing. In figure 6, the sensor is calibrated with electronic sensor down to 20%RH only as this electronic sensor could not detect humidity level below than 20%RH. The reading of the relative humidity below than that is extrapolated based on calibrated relative humidity reading. The extrapolation data shows that the sensor can measure the low humidity level down to around 1%RH. In order to estimate the minimum detection of humidity level, a measurement of the fix humidity at 40%RH was performed for 300 s inside the airtight enclosure as shown in figure 7 and the statistical fluctuation over time is calculated. The mean voltage (μ) and standard deviation (σ) were found to be 0.87 and 425µ. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) was then calculated to be 2047 by dividing between the μ and σ value to estimate the sensitivity of the sensor 11. The sensitivity in term of the minimum detection of relative humidity for a SNR of unity is then estimated to be 0.02%RH. Practically, the wavelength scanning modulation at 200Hz applied to the DFB laser would help to reduce interferometric noises caused by multiple reflections but there appeared fringes that can shift when the fiber is moving and could not eliminated. Hence, external disturbances such as fiber bend would cause shift of the fringes and induce error in measurement.However, the results presented here were obtained in control laboratory environment to minimize the environmental disturbance.0.850.870.890.910.930.950.970.991%RH N o r m a l i z e d ΔV Figure 6.

CONCLUSIONWe have demonstrated a novel relative humidity optical fiber sensor based on direct absorption spectroscopic technique at 1369 nm band using hollow core fiber and therefore does not require the use of a hygroscopic material. A saw-tooth scanning wavelength scheme is applied for humidity sensing and the relative humidity level is based on the normalized value of voltage difference between reference signal and sensor signal at the peak of the water vapor absorption. A 5 cm hollow core fiber with a small gap as a diffusion hole demonstrated a high humidity resolution or sensitivity of around 0.02%RH in the low humidity measurement condition from 0 to 50%RH. Although no measurement is done in the region of high humidity between 50 and 100%RH due to limited of experimental facility, it is expected that the sensor will work properly in the high humidity level based on the current sensitivity performance of the sensor.REFERENCES[1]Yeo, T.L., T.Sun and K.T.V Grattan, "Fibre-optic sensor technologies for humidity and moisture measurement," Sensors and Actuators A: Physical 144(2), 280-295 (2008).[2]Lauer, C., Szalay, S., Bohm, G., Lin, C., Kohler, F. and Amann, M.-C., "Laser hygrometer using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with an emission wavelength of 1.84 µm," Instrumentation and Measurement, IEEE Transactions 54(3), 1214-1218 (2005).[3]Jin, W., Xuan, H.F. and Ho, H.L., "Sensing with hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers," Meas.

压力变送器英文参数定义Pressure transmitters are devices that convert pressure into a standard electrical signal output, typically used in industrial automation and process control systems. They are essential components in a wide range of applications, including fluid systems, pneumatic systems, and hydraulic systems, where precise measurement and control of pressure are crucial.The fundamental components of a pressure transmitter include a pressure sensor, a signal conditioning circuit, and an output interface. The pressure sensor, typically a piezoelectric or piezoresistive device, measures the pressure applied to it and converts it into an electrical signal. The signal conditioning circuit processes this signal, amplifying it and converting it into a standard output signal such as 4-20mA or 0-10V. The output interface then transmits this signal to the control system forfurther processing.The key parameters of a pressure transmitter are its measurement range, accuracy, stability, and response time. The measurement range refers to the minimum and maximum pressures that the transmitter can measure. Accuracy is a measure of how closely the transmitter's output matches the actual pressure being measured, typically expressed as a percentage of the full scale range. Stability refers to the transmitter's ability to maintain its accuracy over time and under varying environmental conditions. Response timeis a measure of how quickly the transmitter can respond to changes in pressure.Other important parameters include the power requirements of the transmitter, its operating temperature range, and its compatibility with different media and environments. For example, some transmitters are designed for use in explosive atmospheres or with corrosive fluids, while others are suitable for use in high-temperature or high-pressure environments.In terms of electrical specifications, pressure transmitters typically have an analog output signal, suchas 4-20mA or 0-10V, which is compatible with mostindustrial automation systems. They may also have digital communication interfaces such as HART, Profibus, or Modbus, which allow for more advanced monitoring and control capabilities.Installation and calibration of pressure transmitters are crucial to ensure accurate and reliable performance. The transmitter should be mounted in a location that allows for proper sensing of the pressure being measured, while also considering factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration. Calibration is typically performed at regular intervals to compensate for any drift in performance over time.In conclusion, pressure transmitters play a vital role in industrial automation and process control systems, enabling precise measurement and control of pressure in a wide range of applications. Understanding the key parameters and specifications of these devices is essential for selecting the appropriate transmitter for a given application and ensuring optimal performance.。
Technical NoteSPI Communication with the Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature SensorsSensing and Control1.0 IntroductionThe Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a simple bus system for synchronous serial communication between one Master and one or more Slaves. It operates in either full-duplex mode or half-duplex mode, allowing simultaneous communication in both directions, or in one direction only. The Master device initiates an information transfer on the bus and generates clock and control signals. Slave devices are controlled by the Master through individual Slave select lines and are active only when selected.Honeywell HumidIcon ™ digital humidity sensors with SPI output operate in half-duplex mode only, with data transfer from the Slave to the Master. Three data lines are required for data transmission:Slave Select (SS)Signal Clock (SCLK)Master-In-Slave Out (MISO)All three of these bus lines are unidirectional. SS and SCLK are controlled by the Master while MISO is controlled by the Slave (see Figure 1).2.0 Data Transfer with SPI Output Humidity SensorsHoneywell’s digital output humidity sensors are design ed to work as Slaves and will therefore only respond when the SS line is asserted. Once the SS line is asserted, the sensor will begin sending data once a clock is received. By default, Honeywell digital humidity sensors are configured to change data on the MISO line with the falling edge of SCLK. This means the Master device should sample MISO on the rising (opposite edge) of SCLK.Honeywell digital humidity sensors can handle high and low SCLK polarity without configuration change. Please contact Honeywell Customer Service with questions regarding SCLK polarity and sampling MISO.Figure 2 shows an example of a 1 byte data transfer from the Slave to the Master. In this example, the data 101 (01100101 binary, or 65 hex) would be read.Figure 2. Example of a 1 Byte SPI Data Transfer with aOnce the clocking begins, Honeywell digital humidity sensors are designed to output up to four bytes of data, depending on the sensor options and the needs of the application. In all cases, the first two data bytes are the compensated humidity output, along with sensor status bits. The third and fourth bytes are for optional compensated temperature output. 2.1 Making a Measurement RequestBy default, the digital output humidity sensor performs humidity measurement and temperature measurement conversions whenever it receives a measurement request (MR) command; otherwise, the sensor is always powered down. The results are stored after each measurement in output registers to be read using a data fetch (DF) command.Detecting whether data is ready to be fetched can be handled by testing the status bits in the fetched data. Refer to Section 2.5 for details of the status bits.SPI Communication with the Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors2 Honeywell Sensing and Control2.2 Humidity and Temperature Measurement Request To wake up the humidity sensor and complete a measurement cycle, an MR command is used. The complete measurement cycle performs a humidity measurement and a temperature measurement and stores the results. As shown in Figure 3, an MR command is a read of eight or more bits, ignoring the data that is returned.A DF (Data Fetch) command must be completed before sending another measurement request command to start a new measurement cycle.2.3 Humidity Data FetchTo receive a compensated humidity reading, the Master generates the necessary clock signal after activating thesensor with the Slave select line. The sensor will transmit up to four bytes of data: the first two bytes contain the compensated humidity output, and the second two bytes contain the compensated temperature output.If only the compensated humidity value is required, the Master can terminate communication by stopping the clock and deactivating the slave select line after the second byte. An example of the communication is shown in Figure 4.2.4 Humidity and Temperature Data FetchThe optional corrected temperature data is read out with 14 bitresolution. By reading out the third and fourth bytes of data from the sensor, the complete 14 bit optional compensated temperature value can be read, as shown in Figure 5.When reading the full 14 bit resolution temperature output, the two least significant bits of the fourth data byte are “Do Not Care” and should be ignored.Figure 5. SPI Humidity and Temperature Data FetchPacket = [ {S(1:0),C(13:8)}, {C(7:0)}, {T(13:6)},{T(5:0),xx} ]Where:S(1:0) = Status bits of packetC(13:8) = Upper six bits of 14-bit humidity data C(7:0) = Lower eight bits of 14-bit humidity data T(13:6) = Corrected temperature dataT(5:0),xx = Remaining bits of corrected temperature data forfull 14-bit resolutionHiZ = High impedance 2.5 Status BitsHoneywell digital output humidity sensors offer status bits to ensure robust system operation in critical applications. The sensor status is indicated by the first two most significant bits of data byte 1 (See Table 1).Note 1: Command Mode is used for programming the sensor. This mode should not be seen during normal operationWhen the status bits read “01”, “s tale” data is indicated. This means that the data in the output buffer of the sensor has already been fetched by the Master, and has not yet beenupdated with the new data from the current measurement cycle. This can happen when the Master polls the data quicker than the sensor can update the output buffer.SPI Communication with the Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature SensorsHoneywell Sensing and Control 33.0 Measurement CycleFigure 6 shows the measurement cycle for the humidity sensor. The measurement cycle time is typically 36.65 ms fortemperature and humidity readings. It is recommended that the user wait until the measurement cycle has completed rather than polling for data to reduce current consumption and noise.Figure 6.

One example is an original and charming woman who has become one of the best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.Jackson was born in Altoona. Her father was a construction worker. When she was in the eighth grade, her father died. Her principal, Mrs. Brown, said not to worry about schoolwork for a while. That upset her. Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best. He always said, “Don't let your first failure be the reason for your next.”Jackson was an accomplished shooting guard in basketball and a star sprinter on the track team, running the quartermile in 57 seconds. She thought she might become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of lowincome children. Jackson liked the idea of giving back, as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.She is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids. She couldn't motivate children until she knew what was bothering or pleasing them. “Students learn from people who love them,” she said. “They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care about them.” In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work. At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes, pencils or other small prizes.She helped create afterschool clubs. A tall student said to her, “I'm a baller.I heard you play ball.” There was a basketball league in Paterson, but the s chool didn't have a team. Jackson started one with support from local business executives.

As a professor of psychology at Utah Valley University, he wasn't looking for insight, but for mistakes—and he found plenty. Some of the worst concerned IQ tests.“Themost common inaccuracy I found, by far, was the claim that intelligence tests are biased__against certain groups,” he says. Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests ar e fair and not culturally biased.“Another very common one was the idea that intelligence is difficult to measure.”No wonder IQ tests often cause disagreements. But that simply isn't the case.“Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the mo st reliable tests ever invented,” says Rex Jung at the University of New Mexico. Nevertheless, you shouldn't trust the kind of 10minute test that might pop up in your social media feed.A comprehensive IQ test takes over an hour and is ideally administered by a professional examiner. It is designed to assess precisely those cognitive (认知的) skills that constitute intelligence, so it consists of a series of subtests that cover reasoning, mental processing speed, spatial (空间的) ability and more. Shorter IQ tests, assessing fewer of these skills, can still provide a general indication of someone's mental abilities, however, because of the nature of intelligence, it means that someone who scores highly on one type of cognitive test will also do comparatively well on others.However, particular applications of IQ tests have faced a thorough inspection.A common criticism of using them to select job applicants is that they only measure certain cognitive skills. They don't scientifically measure creativity, for instance. Neither do they measure personality, which tends to make for reliable and hardworking employees—or ability to get on with other people. However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too a nd a practical exercise to assess jobrelated skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.8.What does the underlined words “biased against” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Unfamiliar to. B.Irrelevant to.C.Unfavorable for. D.Irresponsible for.9.What does Rex Jung think of the intelligence tests?A.They are inaccurate. B.They are trustworthy.C.They are properly used. D.They are precisely designed.10.What can we infer about IQ tests in the last paragraph?A.They are rarely accepted. B.They are heavily criticized.C.They may still be employed. D.They can motivate creativity.11.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Do IQ tests really work? B.Applications of IQ tests.C.Misinformation in textbooks. D.Can IQ tests shape personality?DScientists say they've developed a system using machine for learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. The research was led by engineers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Lausanne, Switz erland.European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. In the United States and other places, groundbased sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen. But, no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the developmentof the method. He said,“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather stati on,” Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod Project.12.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning?A.To collect relative data.B.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.C.To create a scientific system.D.To do research in relation to machine learning.13.The four mentioned surface conditions include all of the following EXCEPT ________.A.air pollution B.wind speedC.relative humidity D.air temperature14.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Lightning. B.The system being tested.C.The atmospheric data. D.The machine learning algorithm.15.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage?A.He developed the method and the system by himself.B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The thinfilm material was subjected to infrared analysis.Subsequently,its humidity sensing characteristics and the sensing mechanism were investigated by measuring the complex impedance spectra of the sensor at different humidity levels.The capacity tolerance to high humidity atmosphere,sensitivity and linearity of pure poly-MAPTACfilm was increased by addition of MSMA–SiO2and MMA.The complex impedance spectra and composition were used to explain the increase in sensitivity and linearity of the poly-MAPTAC added with MSMA–SiO2and MMA. The characteristics of the humidity sensor,such as tolerance to high humidity atmosphere(97%RH)and chemical environment(20%C2H5OH vapor),sensitivity,linearity,hysteresis,response time,temperature dependency,frequency dependency and long-term stability,were further studied.

However,there are limitations to the method of in situ poly-merization of metal alkoxides in organic polymers due to the morphology and phase separation controlled[23].Moreover, the mixture was not very stable,and the inorganic powders tended to coagulate or precipitate from solution in a blending method[20].In this study,poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA without SiO2coagulated or precipitated,were prepared0925-4005/$–see front matter©2006Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.snb.2006.01.002484P .-G.Su et al./Sensors and Actuators B 119(2006)483–489as humidity sensors from MAPTAC,methyl methacrylate (MMA),water-based monodispersed colloidal silica,and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MSMA)as a cou-pling agent.The humidity sensing and electrical proper-ties of the poly-MAPTAC film,poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA composite films were investigated.2.Experimental2.1.Humidity sensor preparationThe preparation of poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA was similar to the method reported by Chen and co-workers [24]and the reaction scheme is shown in Fig.1.The reactionprocessFig.1.Reaction scheme for preparing (a)colloidal MSMA–SiO 2and (b)composite poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA.P.-G.Su et al./Sensors and Actuators B119(2006)483–489485Table1Monomer compositions(wt.%)for preparing the composite materialfilms Sample number MSMA–SiO2MMA MAPTAC 100100 233067 333760 4333334 533607was divided into two steps.In thefirst step(Fig.1a),MSMA (98%,Aldrich),aqueous colloidal silica(15nm,30wt.%,pH 3.8),C2H5OH and HNO3(10%)were mixed together,and then the reaction mixture was poured into a three-necked reac-tor to proceed the hydrolysis/condensation reaction.The reac-tion temperature was maintained at60◦C for2h to obtain a MSMA–SiO2solution.In the second step(Fig.1b),prepar-ing the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA hybrid material, the colloidal MSMA–SiO2solution obtained in thefirst step was subsequently mixed with a homogeneous solution of the MAPTAC or MMA/MAPTAC and the initiator,azobisisobu-tyronitrile(AIBN),to proceed the copolymerization reaction under60◦C for22h.The various compositions are shown in Table1.Then the alumina substrate coated with the pre-cursor solutions was cured in an oven at90◦C for1h to give poly-MAPTAC,poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA humidity sensors.2.2.Instruments and analysisAn infrared spectrometer(Nicolet Magna-IR860)was used to obtain IR spectra of the composite materials.The complex impedance of the sensors as a function of relative humidity(RH) was measured with an LCR meter(Philips PM6304)in a cell, in which humidity was controlled by mixing dry and wet air by using massflow controllers(Hastings)as described elsewhere [18].The frequency ranged from1to100kHz and RH varied from20to90%RH with the temperature of15,25and35◦C. The highest humidity atmosphere(97%RH)for stability test was controlled by using a saturated K2SO4solution.3.Results and discussion3.1.IR spectraFig.2illustrates the FT-IR spectra of colloidal silica, MSMA–SiO2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA.The Si–OH vibration of pure colloidal silica and MSMA/silica was observed at974and953cm−1,respectively,which were similar to those reported in literature[25,26].Thus,MSMA success-fully reacted with the Si–OH bonds on the silica surface.In the spectrum of MSMA–SiO2,the absorption band of C C at1650cm−1,but not in poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA, suggesting the successfully complete polymerization of the monomers.The formation of colloidal MSMA–SiO2provides the advantages of the well-controlled SiO2size distribution,the small particle size of about20nm,and no coagulation offine Fig.2.IR spectra of poly-MAPTAC,poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2/MMA.SiO2particles in the hybrid material.Moreover,the vinyl groups of MSMA–SiO2copolymerized with the polyelectrolytes to improve the stability between the incompatible inorganic sur-face and the organic polymers[22].3.2.Humidity sensing propertiesThe electrical response and hysteresis of the sensors to rel-ative humidity(RH)are shown in Fig.3.The measurement was made at25◦C and an AC voltage of1V,and1kHz.It is seen that the impedance of Sample1changed by one order of magnitude with an increase in humidity from20to90% RH,showing low sensitivity,and the response was non-linear in semi-logarithmic scale over the full RH range.It is seen that after formation of poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2(Sample Fig.3.Impedance and hysteresis vs.relative humidity for poly-MAPTAC and various composite materialfilms of poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO2and

poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA (Samples 3and 4),the impedance of the films greatly increased over a wide range of RH,indicating that the sensitivity and linearity were highly improved.However,when the addition amount of MMA was increased to 50wt.%(Sample 5),the linearity became rather poor.The effect of the MSMA–SiO 2addition and the addi-tive amount of MMA on the linearity of the response curve and the tolerance to high humidity (97%RH)and alcoholic (20%C 2H 5OH)environment are shown in Table 2.For Sample 2,it is seen that the linearity increased (correlation coefficient increased from 0.8308to 0.9673)and the slope deviation value before and after aging decreased from 26.96to 9.17%when MSMA–SiO 2was added.Moreover,further addition of MMA (Samples 3and 4)resulted in further improvement of the lin-earity (from 0.8308to 0.9725)and the slope deviation value before and after aging (from 26.96to 1.36%).Compared with other sensors,the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid film showed satisfactory tolerance to high humidity environment containing 20%C 2H 5OH vapor.Additionally,the hysteresis between humidification and desiccation processes in the range of 20–90%RH decreased with the addition of MSMA–SiO 2and MMA.Sample 4showed the smallest hysteresis of about 2.3%RH.The response and recovery time of Samples 1,2and 4are shown in Fig.4a,b and c,respectively.It is seen that after MSMA–SiO 2and MMA were added,the response and recov-ery time was improved.Sample 4(Fig.4c)exhibited the best response (humidification:30s)and recovery time (desiccation:120s).The change in sensing behavior of the poly-MAPTAC added with MSMA–SiO 2and MMA can be explained based on the composition and structure of the hybrid film as below.The conductivity of the MSMA–SiO 2and MMA is lower than that of poly-MAPTAC and the impedance of the hybrid film increased accordingly over the wide range of RH,leading to higher sen-sitivity.Moreover,the adsorbed water molecules have much stronger interaction with poly-MAPTAC,because of the exis-tence of basic –N +(CH 3)3Cl −groups,in comparison with their interaction with MSMA–SiO 2[27]and MMA [28].Therefore,for Sample 4,the moisture is removed more easily,shortening the recovery (desiccation)process and at the same time decreas-ing the hysteresis.Sample 4was chosen for further testing the other humidity-sensing characteristics.Fig.

humidity for the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA film at various frequencies.Dependence of the sensor impedance on the applied fre-quency was measured at 1,11and 100kHz,and the results are shown in Fig.5.At low RH,the frequency influence on the impedance was larger than that at high RH.The impedance of the sensor was dependent on the ambi-ent temperature,as shown in Fig.6.When the temperature increased,the RH characteristic curve shifted to the lower impedance.The temperature influence was found to be −0.04and −0.18%RH/◦C at 20and 90%RH,respectively,between 15and 35◦C.Fig.7shows Arrhenius plots of measured resis-tance versus 1/T at 20,60and 90%RH.The activation energy for conduction is the energy barrier from one stable position to another [29].It was observed that the activation energy decreased from 0.21to 0.01eV with an increase in RH from 20to 90%.This behavior seems to reflect that the conductivity of the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid film is contributed by Cl −ions.The effect of long-term stability was based on thecal-Fig. 6.Impedance vs.relative humidity for the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA film at varioustemperatures.Fig.7.Resistance vs.temperature variation for the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA film at different RH =20,60and 90%.culation of the impedance value deviation at three testing points of 20,60,and 90%RH.There was no obvious deviation for 112days at least.plex impedanceThe analysis of complex impedance spectra is useful for studying the sensing behavior of humidity sensors.The LCR meter cannot give real (Z r )and imaginary (Z i )impedance at low applied frequency and low RH.Therefore,the fre-quency range from 1to 100kHz and the RH range from 20to 90%at 25◦C were chosen for the complex impedance analysis.The typical complex impedance spectra of the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid film at two different humidity levels are shown in Fig.8.At low humidity,a semicircle due to film impedance was observed.Many authors [14,16,17]have explained that it is due to a kind of polarization and can be modelled by an equivalent circuit of a parallel resistor and a capacitor.With increasing the humidity,two regions were observed,a semicircle (at high frequencies)connected with the polymer/electrode interface process and a straight line (at low frequencies)representing the Warburg impedance that is caused by diffusion of electroactive species at the electrodes [14,30,31].The linearity of the response curve is closely related with the weight of the components in the composite impedance of a sensor [14,20].That is,the existence of Warburg impedance makes the impedance response devi-ate from the linear line.The complex impedance plots of the poly-MAPTAC,poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid films are shown in Fig.9.The poly-MAPTAC film absorbed more water molecules so that the small film resistance was observed and the semi-circle was invisible.However,a semicircle was observed in the plot of the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid fipared with poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2,the larger radius of the semicir-cle or shorter straight line at lower frequencies was observed488P .-G.Su et al./Sensors and Actuators B 119(2006)483–489Fig.8.The complex impedance plots of for the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA film at differentRH.Fig.9.The complex impedance plots of the

sensors was in the order of poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA >poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2>poly-MAPTAC,as shown in Table 2.4.ConclusionsPolyelectrolyte/silica/MMA hybrid films were successfully prepared from MAPTAC and aqueous monodispersed col-loidal silica with a coupling agent.Formation of colloidal MSMA–SiO 2provides the advantages of preventing SiO 2from coagulation or precipitation and improving the stability between the incompatible inorganic surface and organic polymers.In comparison with poly-MAPTAC and poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2,the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA hybrid film showed higher sensitivity,better linearity (R 2=0.9725),smallhysteresis (2.3%RH),faster response (30s)and recovery time (120s),satisfactory tolerance to high RH (97%RH)environ-ment containing 20%C 2H 5OH,and good long-term stability (112days at least).The temperature coefficient was −0.04and −0.18%RH/◦C at 20and 90%RH,respectively,between 15and 35◦C.At low RH,the frequency influence on the impedance was larger than that at high RH.The conductivity of the poly-MAPTAC/MSMA–SiO 2/MMA film could be explained to be controlled by mobility of ions from the measurement of the activation energy for conduction,which reduced with water adsorption.In addition,the improvement in sensing proper-ties was explained based on the composition and complex impedance.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the National Science
