Conductance of Quaternary Ammonium Salt Dispersions in Polymeric Films

摘要

Solutions of quaternary ammonium salts in polymeric materials exhibit unusually high temperature coefficients of electrical conductivity. Experiments are described which indicate that conduction might be produced through a combination of electronic and ionic mechanisms. The materials studied show promise as 'throw-away thermistors'. The results shed some light on the mode of behavior of the recently developed coated wire ion selective electrodes. (Author)
