| The piezoelectric quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is an in-situ mass measurement technique. The ability of QCM when used in conjunction with electrochemistry to furnish electrochemical and electrogravimetric data simultaneously has enabled measurements to be made on the conducting polymer - polyaniline (PA), leading to the determination of ion and solvent populations in this polymer.; Chronocoulometric studies on composite PA/Nafion matrices give insight on how controlling the identity ions migrating into PA film influences the switching rate.; Kinetic and ion exchange studies on PA furnish data which reveal the potential use of PA as an important component in battery cells. |
