Niiskustundlikkus refers to the characteristic of a material or object to change its properties or behavior in response to varying levels of humidity. This sensitivity can manifest in several ways, including changes in size, shape, strength, electrical conductivity, or even its ability to absorb or release moisture. Many natural materials, such as wood, paper, and textiles, are inherently niiskustundlikk. Wood, for example, will swell when exposed to high humidity and shrink as it dries. Paper can become brittle when too dry or limp and prone to damage when excessively damp.

The degree of niiskustundlikkus varies significantly between different substances. Some materials are engineered to be less niiskustundlik, often through treatments or the incorporation of specific additives. Conversely, some applications require materials that are deliberately niiskustundlik, such as those used in hygrometers, which measure humidity. Understanding and managing niiskustundlikkus is crucial in many fields, including construction, manufacturing, preservation of artifacts, and the design of electronic devices, where moisture-induced changes can lead to performance degradation or structural failure. Monitoring and controlling environmental humidity is often a key strategy to mitigate the negative effects of niiskustundlikkus.
