NEW MULTIDIMENSIONAL ELECTROCHEMICAL SET-UP FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF DYNAMIC SOLID-STATE POLYMERIC MATERIALS

A new multidimensional dynamic electrochemical set up is introduced. T he set up is capable of monitoring mass, resistance and charge changes at the solid state material-solution interfaces. This technique invol ves the combination of two new characterisation techniques, Quartz Cry stal Microbalance (QCM) and Cyclic Resistometry (CR) together with a c onventional Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). Mass, resistance and current data as a function of applied potential can be obtained in-situ, simultane ously and in real-time.
