The Influence of Plasticizers on the Response Characteristics of the Surfactant Sensor for Cationic Surfactant Determination in Disinfectants and Antiseptics

Surfactant liquid-membrane type sensors are usually made of a PVC, ionophore and a plasticizer. Plasticizers soften the PVC. Due to their lipophilicity, they influence the ion exchange across the membrane, ionophore solubility, membrane resistance and, consequently, the analytical signal. We used th...
