This approach could be of great interest for
applications needing low-power and reduced
dimension, such as bio-medical applications in
general and in particular wearable solutions. Also
food industry could benefit from this approach when
focused on solutions for smart-packaging oriented to
quality monitoring and shelf-life assessment.
Future works will investigate change of
sensitivity with respect other chemicals (rather than
humidity) and change in selectivity, with respect to
different chemicals, so to evidence the possibility to
paving the way to a new kind of sensor, of which we
can change the sensitivity and the selectivity
according to the time-by-time necessity.
