Abstract
The present invention relates to a potentiometric electrode and gradient polymer, both comprising electrically conducting particles, which increase in concentration away from one surface, ionophore molecules, which increase in concentration towards the same surface surface, and an electrical connection which passes proximal to said electrically conducting particles. The invention further relates to devices incorporating said electrode or gradient polymer, and to a method for their preparation. The new materials are highly robust and reliable.
