Notes:
Barium complexes were embedded in plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membranes. Effects of these metallic complexes were followed as a function temperature and strain rate. It was found that both the elastic modulus and yield stress decrease with barium content. This behavior is attributed to a lack of uniform structure and the existence of irregularities and voids in the bulk membranes. Another factor which may reduce the tensile strength is te internal and interfacial residual stresses developed at the metal-matrix interface. These internal stresses and the structural nonuniformity influence the electrical conduction mechanism and performance of the PVC matrix ion-selective electrodes during aging. Also, it was observed that the yield stress of these membranes has a strain rate and temperature dependence.
