the effect of mentha spicata l. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 m hcl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (ie). the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

We present a microfluidic device, which enables single cells to be reliably trapped and cultivated while simultaneously being monitored by means of multifrequency electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the frequency range of 10 kHz-10 MHz. Polystyrene beads were employed to characterize the EIS performance inside the microfluidic device. The results demonstrate that EIS yields a low coeffic...

Breast Cancer is among the top five causes of cancer death and topmost cause among women worldwide. The early diagnosis through simple, non-invasive and inexpensive screening can provide great deal of aid especially for the poor people of Bangladesh. Making diagnostics measurement available to the widely geographically spread population in developing countries is a challenge which is unlikely t...

Polarization, solution-separator, charge transfer, and diffusion resistances of clean and used separator electrode assemblies were examined in microbial fuel cells using current–voltage curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Current–voltage curves showed the total resistance was reduced at low cathode potentials. EIS results revealed that at a set cathode potential of 0.3 V di...

We report an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) based method to measure the doping level of conducting polymers. Using EIS the Faradaic current and the capacitive charging current can be separated without relying on any unverifiable assumptions. We demonstrate the method for three types of conducting polymer thin films that are the basis for many commercial applications (poly(3,4ethyl...

The electrical properties of tissues depend on their architecture and cellular composition. We have previously shown that changes in electrical impedance can be used to differentiate between different degrees of cervical dysplasia and cancer of the cervix. In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to determine whether electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) could distinguish between normal oral ...

We designed a novel 6-point electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sensor with 15 combinations of permutations for the 3-D mapping and detection of metabolically active atherosclerotic lesions. Two rows of 3 stretchable electrodes circumferentially separated by 120° were mounted on an inflatable balloon for intravascular deployment and endoluminal interrogation. The configuration and 15 p...

We are introducing a system for Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements for future use in Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NICU) settings. The system consists mostly of commercially available components and the software was developed in Labview (National Instruments). The system is based on the principle that acute hemorrhagic stroke may produce detectable changes in the impedance...

the supercapacitive behavior of polyaniline/mno2-carbon black (pani/mno2-cb), mno2-cb nanocompositesand cb was studied. mno2-cb made by the in situ direct coating method to deposit mno2 onto cb; then pani coating was coated on it. morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the el...
