Summary

The article reports on a new type of sensor developed at Brunel University for measuring relative humidity. It is based on the colorimetric interaction of cobalt chloride with water molecules. Further work is needed to determine the long-term stability and life of the optical fibre humidity sensor described. Some success has already been achieved in tests where the gelatine has been replaced by porous silica.
