The work presented in this paper was realized using the polyimide obtained through the polycondensation of the pyromellitic dianhydride with 4, 4′ - diaminophenyl ether. Polyimide based polymeric membranes were characterized as regards the a.c. impedance and electrochemical analyses. The experiments put in evidence the influence of the membrane composition on the electrochemical answer of the sensor. Also, it was put in evidence the action of the electrolyte solutions upon the selective membranes. Through impedance analysis it was possible to show that the water from the aqueous electrolyte solution acts not only as a plasticizer for the polymeric matrix, but it also exists as absorbed water on the membrane surface. Meanwhile, it was concluded that the addition of the lipophilic agent in the selective membrane composition results in membranes with higher dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of the polymeric matrix of the ionselective devices based on neutral carriers has an important influence on selectivity.

In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
