fe2+ ion-selective membrane sensor has been fabricated from polyvinyl chloride (pvc) matrixmembrane containing neutral carrier tetra phenyl porphyrin (tpp) ionophore. the addition ofsodium tetraphenylborate (natpb) and the plasticizer dbp has been found to substantiallyimprove the performance of the sensor. the best performance was obtained with the sensor havinga membrane of composition of tpp...

In this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized Schiff base metal complex in sensing application. A new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex N, N'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (II) [CuL] as the membrane carrier was developed. The electrode exhibits a good  Nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mV/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. The lim...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the ...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...

a pvc membrane cr(iii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2h-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4h)dione dioxime (btd) as membrane carrier. the influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. the electrode exhibits a nernstian response over a cr(iii) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 m (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mv per decade of concentration,...

a nanocomposite membrane cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (etmoc) as a neutral ionophore. the electrode works properly. it responds to cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mv/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1m at ph 3.0-8.0. the limit of detection was 4.5 × ...

The preparation of polymer membrane selective to Iron(II) ion and its application to ion-selectiveelectrode is reported here. PVC membrane contains Iron–selective N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 asionophore. The membrane electrode is highly selective to Iron(II) ion and exhibit good linearresponse over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 M with Nernstian slope of29.2 ± 0.6 mV per deca...

A composite polymer surface coated on a tin oxide offers dramatic improvement in the stability and sensitivity of voltammetric measurement of pyridostigmine bromide as compared to individual tin oxide, polyaniline or polypyrrole coated electrode. A linear current response was achieved with a detection limit of 1x10 M. The stability and morphology of the polymer surfaces were determined by therm...

We have examined the polymer-surfactant interaction in mixed solutions of the cationic surfactants, i.e., dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltriphenylphosphonium bromide, and tetradecylpyridinium bromide and a semiflexible anionic polyelectrolyte carboxymethylcellulose in water a...
