Lithium Ion-Selective Electrode with Improved Lifetime. -A polymer membrane-based lithium-selective electrode using a polyurethane/poly(vinyl chloride) mixed matrix with 8:2 mixing ratio exhibits a lifetime of over 90 days. Since polyurethane has stronger adhesion to the solid-state substrate and improved biocompatibility, the mixed matrix system can be used to prepare a miniaturized lithium ion-selective electrode with increased lifetime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
