Gas-Solid Absorption Characteristics of Supramolecular Compounds Using a Hermetically Controlled Atmosphere Automated Absorption Balance (H-CAAAB)
Abstract
Rigid supramolecular structures recently discovered present new options for those wishing to develop gravimetric humidity sensors. Although humidity sensors are an established technology, there is room to grow in this field. This thesis backgrounds the current state of the art in humidity sensing materials, but will concentrate on gravimetric humidity sensors. It details the benefits and drawbacks of current materials in use. Limitations of current sensing materials are explored. The advantages of using rigid porous supramolecular structures are explained. Using a Hermetically Controlled Atmosphere Automated Absorption Balance, this work studied the absorption characteristics of some of the more promising supramolecular materials that have recently been developed in the Zaworotko research group.
