Popis: The selectivity and the permeability of neutral-carrier-based membranes for substrate ions not only depend on the complexation behavior of the ionophores used, but also on their environment. In asymmetric membranes, ionophores may generally exhibit asymmetric transport properties. Such asymmetric bulk membranes were prepared from two PVC half-membranes incorporating synthetic cation-carriers in different plasticizers. The results of potentiometric and electrodialytic studies are discussed on the basis of a theoretical analysis of the carrier-mediated electrical properties of asymmetric bulk and bilayer membranes.
