摘要
A prototype of a quartz-crystal. microbalance-based transducer is proposed for in-situ measurements of very low chloroform activity in a gaseous environment. The sensing element consists of an innovative semicrystailine form of syndiotactic polystyrene sprayed as a thin film on the piezoelectric quartz electrode of the microbalance. Chloroform sorption and desorption in the film give rise to a mass variation, implying a related shift in the resonance frequency of the quartz. Results of static and dynamic metrological, characterization of the transducer prototype at varying chloroform concentration and temperature in a gaseous environment are reported. Satisfactory sensitivity, repeatability, and dynamic hysteresis are highlighted.
