R. Borngraber et al., Detection of ionic compounds in water with a new poly-carbon acid coated quartz crystal resonator, SENS ACTU-B, 65(1-3), 2000, pp. 273-276
A new hydrophilic poly-carbon acid (PCA) coated quartz crystal resonator is
able to detect ionic compounds, for example, organic and inorganic acids a
nd amines in drinking water. The mass change is induced by an intra- or int
ermolecular ion-proton exchange or by strong acid-base interactions. (C) 20
