ABSTRAK

 

Bahan sensor untuk pengesanan pH telah disediakan dengan memegunkan reagen fenol merah dalam membran nafion. Slaid kaca yang berukuran 3 in × 1 in telah digunakan sebagai penyokong. Setelah dipegunkan. membran terdop dengan reagen fenol merah dicirikan menggunakan Spektrofotometer uL-Nampak untuk mengkaji kebolehulangan. kestabilan foto dan kesan terhadap pH berbeza. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa bahan ini boleh digunakan sebagai bahan sensor dalam pembinaan sensor optik pH kerana reagen berjaya dipegunkan dan memberikan rangsangan yang baik pada pH yang berbeza.

 

 

ABSTRACT

 

Optical sensing material for detection of pH has been prepared by immobilising phenol red in nafion membrane. Glass slides with dimension 3 in × 1 in were used as a support. The nafion membrane doped with phenol red was characterized by using uv-Visible Spectrophotometer to study the responses at different pH, repeatability and photo stability. The sensing materials were able to be used for the development of an optical pH sensor since the reagent could be successfully immobilised and produced good responses at different pH.
