MOISTURE SENSOR, DIAPER PROVIDED WITH SUCH A SENSOR, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE AND/OR THE INTACTNESS OF THE MOISTURE SENSOR

摘要

The moisture sensor for detecting moisture comprises at least one first electrode provided with at least one IGP (intrinsiek geleidene polymeer), at least one second electrode and a dielectric included between the first and the second electrode. The dielectric is of a type that can absorb moisture, so that the presence of moisture can be detected on the basis of an electric voltage difference between the first and the second electrode. The first electrode is provided with a ribbon-shaped carrier, to which the at least one IGP is applied.
