Ion-sensitive membrane-based sensors and ionic processes in bio-membranes are the focus of this book. The chapters are carefully chosen to characterize essential research trends, applications, and perspectives. They include solid contact ion-selective and reference electrodes and their electroanalytical behavior in zero and nonzero-current modes, planar and miniaturized multielectrode platforms, ion monitoring in extreme sports, and transmembrane transport through living endothelial cells to find the volume. This book is crowned by the consideration of a yet unexplored ion status in a mitochondrial matrix

Research & information: general --- Biology, life sciences --- potentiometry --- reference electrode --- solid contact --- heterogenous membranes --- polymer membranes --- ion transport --- water transport --- epithelium --- cystic fibrosis --- mitochondrion --- calcium carbonates --- calcium phosphates --- calcium polyphosphates --- ATP production --- hypoxia --- ischemia --- pre-conditioning --- ion selective electrodes --- wearable sensors --- solid-contact materials --- response mechanism --- anhydrous and hydrous ruthenium dioxide --- porous microstructure --- high capacity --- stable measuring signal --- chemically modified electrodes --- membrane-coated voltammetric sensors --- antidepressant and immunosuppressant drugs --- detection limit --- resolution --- ion-selective membranes --- components leakage --- incorporation --- all-solid-state sensors --- n/a

This reprint gathers works on various coating materials and technologies aimed at the improvement of materials’ properties, such as corrosion resistance or biocompatibility. Systematic studies demonstrate how the structure and morphology of coatings can change the mechanical, chemical and various functional properties of materials. The reprint contributes to the better understanding of various phenomena induced by metal, ceramic or composite coatings in core materials and, thus, it can help in the more rational design of the selected material’s properties in future studies by the application of coatings.
