A thin film of poly(N,N-dimethylpropargylamine) (PDMPA), deposited by spin coating over a SiO2 substrate covered by an interdigitated array of chromium electrodes, was characterised by impedance spectroscopy at different relative humidity levels, ranging from similar to0 to similar to 90% relative humidity (RH). The logarithm of the film conductance exhibits a linear behaviour from very low RH contents up to more than 70% RH. The dynamic range of the variation of the conductance is extremely high (similar to6 orders-of-magnitude) and it allows a promising use of the film as a humidity sensor.

Abstract
A thin film of poly(N,N-dimethylpropargylamine) (PDMPA), deposited by spin coating over a SiO2 substrate covered by an interdigitated array of chromium electrodes, was characterised by impedance spectroscopy at different relative humidity levels, ranging from similar to0 to similar to 90% relative humidity (RH). The logarithm of the film conductance exhibits a linear behaviour from very low RH contents up to more than 70% RH. The dynamic range of the variation of the conductance is extremely high (similar to6 orders-of-magnitude) and it allows a promising use of the film as a humidity sensor.
