Alcohol sensing membranes coated on overhead transparency films for the continuous monitoring of ethanol, propanol and butanol are presented. Alcohol oxidation catalyzed by alcohol oxidase in conjunction with the fluorescence quenching reaction of oxygen-sensitive dye ion-pair, tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium(II) didodecylsulphate was chosen for the determination. Alcohol oxida...

A series of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)/poly(?-caprolactone) blends with different compositions were prepared using solvent casting. The miscibility this pair polymers was investigated differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and proved by a negative Flory interaction parameter value calculated from the Nishi–Wang equation. blend also confirmed electronic microscopy (SEM). thermal behaviors...
