I need a material that responds mechanically as an indicator of
relative humidity. I have looked inside commercial humidistats used
in home heating systems. They use some sort of plastic strip that
expands and contracts with changes in humidity and trips a
microswitch. Is this plastic strip some exotic material, or is it
something that is generally available?
