M. Elrhazi et al., STUDY OF THE IONIC TRANSPORT IN POLYETHYL CARBAZOLE BY MICROBALANCE AND MIRAGE EFFECT, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 92(4), 1995, pp. 859-862
The responses of the quartz microbalance technique and of the probe be
am deflection technique were compared for the polyethylcarbazole in 5M
perchloric acid. Upon film reduction, only the perchlorate ions remov
al is involved whereas upon oxidation occurs simultaneous removal of p
rotons and entrance of anions. Mass impedance in steady-state shows on
ly anions motion. These results are explained by the respective values
of ionic conductivity in the reduced and oxidized states.
