The resistance variations induced by relative humidity (RH) changes were measured on Pd/Al2O3 and Au/(C2F4)n granular films in the RH range 0%–97% at room temperature. It was verified that the contact‐film interface has no influence on the observed phenomena. A maximum ΔR/R0=26% was detected for the Au/(C2F4)n system.
