    Sammanfattning

    A new optical pH measurement method will be presented. It is based on the acid-base equilibrium (emeraldine salt to emeraldine base transition) of water dispersions of polyaniline nanoparticles [1-4].

    The determination of pH is possible between pH 8-10.5 (delta pH=0.1) with a relative standard deviation of 1-2% (800 nm; n=7; peak area) by combining UV-vis spectroscopy with an automated sequential injection analysis (SIA) system. Alternatively, an optical fibre probe (400-700 nm) can used for batch pH measurements. In this case, pH measurements are possible between pH 6-10 (580 nm).

    Redox electrochemistry with the water dispersion of polyaniline nanoparticles can also be carried out in the solution phase (pH 6) in the presence of the Fe(CN)6(3-)/(4-) and Fe(C2O4)3(3-)/(4-) redox couples. It is shown with UV-vis spectroscopy that polyaniline can be converted between the leucoemeraldine base, emeraldine salt and pernigraniline base forms.
