Humidity control in a closed system utilizing conducting polymers

Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate that conducting polymers could be ideal materials for continuously managing humidity in a wide range of enclosed spaces. We demonstrate a simple battery-driven humidity control unit to manage the humidity in a closed environment and studied humidity-responsive nanocapsules using Zn-coordinated lipid nanovesicles. This study not only promises new applications for conducting polymers but also provides an easy approach for fabricating chambers with a controlled environment, which are often used by physicists, chemists, and biologists.
