Abstract
A new concept in chemical sensing has been introduced that uses change s in density of a cross-linked polymer to physically signal changes in solution composition. Prototype systems that have now been developed are based on Amberlite IRA 400 (Cl), where anion exchange provides a d riving force for the resin's emergence from, and submergence into, wat er due to changes in bead density. The potential utility of such senso rs is briefly described.
