Aa. Ovchinnikov et al., Potentiometric method for the determination of critical concentrations of copper in polymer composites, J ANALYT CH, 54(7), 1999, pp. 639-641
The sensitivity of metal-polymer composites to copper(II) (at concentration
s down to 10(-5) M) and the possibility of using them as sensing elements o
f sensor detectors are demonstrated. The detection limit of copper is 6 vol
%. The sensitivity of electrodes with the critical concentration of copper
is competitive with the sensitivity of bulk metal electrodes.
