tea is the second most commonly consumed beverage world wide. tea ( camellia sinensis ) is a naturally rich source of fluoride. the quantity of fluoride intake is important in optimizing its dental caries-preventive role. intense concentration of fluoride in tea, can lead to excessive fluoride intake which may cause health problems in turn. the measurement of fluoride intake usually requires in...

Abstract Although ion-selective membrane-based potentiometric sensors have already proved their analytical performance in several fields of life, applicability is still limited practice. Biodegradable, ionic additive-free, polylactic acid-based bulk electrode membrane matrix containing various environmentally friendly polyethylene glycol derivatives as plasticizer was developed for the first ti...

The rapid growth of interest in the field of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), within the larger field of electrochemical sensors based on potentiometric, amperometric, and conductometric principles, makes it highly desirable to achieve improved standardization of nomenclature in this area. The previous document, W A C Recommendations 1975 (1) has been corrected using recent experimental and the...

a new polyvinyl choloride (pvc) membrane sensor for cerium (iii) was prepared based on 4,13-didecyl-1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctadecane (kryptofix22dd) as an ionophore. the sensor exhibites a linear concentration range of 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-1m, with a nernstian slope of 18.0±1.0 mv/decade, and a detection limit of 9.7×10-7m. it has a fast response time (5 s) and can be used for two mont...

This paper gives an overview of the newest developments of polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes. A short essence of the underlying theory is given, emphasizing how the electromotive force may be used to assess binding constants of the ionophore, and how the selectivity and detection limit are related to the underlying membrane processes. The recent developments in lowering the detection ...

Conventional ion-selective electrodes with a liquid junction have the disadvantage of potential drift. All-solid-state ion-selective electrodes with solid contact in between the metal electrode and the ion-selective membrane offer high capacitance or conductance to enhance potential stability. Solution-casted chitosan/Prussian blue nanocomposite (ChPBN) was employed as the solid contact layer f...
