The phrase "a sensitive material" is not correct in standard English; it should be "sensitive materials" or "a sensitive material item." You can use it when referring to items or substances that require careful handling or confidentiality.
Example: "The laboratory is equipped to handle a sensitive material that must be stored under strict conditions."
Alternatives: "a delicate substance" or "a confidential item."
Asphalt concrete (AC), a mixture of bitumen and aggregates, is a sensitive material compared to other configurations used in civil engineering.
In this paper, the electrical properties of MgAl2O4, which has been proposed as a sensitive material for humidity detection devices, are discussed in relation to its microstructure.
A sensitive material inside this device releases a photon of light when it is hit by an alpha particle (or any other form of ionising radiation), and that photon is then detected and counted.
Metal oxides SnO2, ZnO, In2O3, and CdO are wide-bandgap n-type semiconductors and the most frequently used as a sensitive material for the gas sensors.
The only materials you need are a light sensitive material like film or photo paper and a so-called "camera obscura," a box completely void of light.
The sensor device is a capacitor where a thin layer of [bis(benzo cyclobutene)] is used as a dielectric sensitive material between two metal electrodes.
Guantánamo Bay authorities, who had claimed the olive oil was used as a culturally sensitive material, no longer use it to lubricate the tubes inserted into a detainee's stomach through the nose.
(Renaissance defended its practices, and the matter remains contested, leaving a very sensitive material issue pending before the Trump Administration).
Salt represents a radiation sensitive material that can be used for dosimetry.
ZnO is a very sensitive material and is susceptible to degradation by acids, bases and even water.
The micro-hotplates lie on a SOI membrane and consist of MOSFET heaters that elevate the operating temperature, through self-heating, of a gas sensitive material.
