COMMISSION ON ELECTROANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (V.5)
Number: 550/61/97
Title: Voltammetric Microelectrodes - Definitions, Characteristics
and Hints for theirs Use
Coordinator(s): Karel
Stulik, Vladimir Marecek, Wlodzimierz
Kutner
Completion Date: 1999 - Project Completed
Objective:
This project is intended to replace project 550/34/87 (Voltammetric
Microelectrodes: Classification and Capabilities) which has never been
actually started, as the original coordinators, first Dr. J. Osteryoung
and then Prof. K. Cammann, were unable to carry out the job because
of their commitments. However, it has been generally felt that the topic
of microeletrodes is important and an IUPAC document is needed, and
at the Even Year Meeting of V.5 in Gargnano, 1996, it was decided to
restart the work, assigning Karel Stulik as coordinator. The project
will contribute to the unification of the terminology in the field of
microelectrodes, to the establishment of unambiguous definitions of
microelectrode devices and to their electroanalytical characterization.
It will also point out principal rules for working with microelectrodes
and the main fields of their application.
Progress:
The first draft of the document was prepared, including a few more
authors. The draft was repeatedly submitted for comments at various
IUPAC levels and modified accordingly. At present, the final manuscript
is being prepared and will be submitted for publication in PAC before
the end of 1999 under the title: "Microelectrodes: Definitions, Characterisation
and Applications", by Karel Stulik, Christian Amatore, Karel Holub,
Vladimir Marecek and Wlodzimierz Kutner.
