Abstract:
The present invention discloses ionophores for use in a chemical sensor, said ionophores are prepared based on camphoric acids. The said ionophores are cost effective and can be prepared in large volume.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the use of nanoporous protective membrane for controlling the rate of transport of ionic species in the electrode, controlling the rate of loss of sensing membrane components, for maintaining sufficient and linear response signal from chemical sensors, and to achieve low and constant drift rate or chemical sensors. The present invention is for use in the sensing electrode and the reference electrode so that the potentiometric system is suitable for long term field deployment.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a solid state reference electrode comprising; polymeric substrate, silver materials, silver chloride materials; and nano-porous hybrid solgel materials doped with chloride salts and borate compounds. The present invention also provides a method for preparation of solid hydrogel comprises the steps of: (a) mixing tetraethyl orthosilicate, methyltriethoxysilane, deionized water, and hydrochloric acid; (b) stirring and mixture until a clear homogeneous mixture is achieved; (c) adding lithium chloride and trimethyl borate to the homogeneous mixture; (d) sonicating the mixture of step (c).
