The past advances within the area of ion selective electrodes are reviewed against the historical background of potentiometric measurements that originated one hundred years ago by the pioneering work of Nernst. Within that period two important areas of activity took place: in the twenties and thirties the development within the area of pH measurement and in the sixties and seventies the renaissance of direct potentiometry with novel devices–ion selective electrodes. This work reviews the important advances, pioneers in the field and the intriguing interplay between academics and industry. (66 references and 4 figures).
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
