Preparation of voltammetric disc electrodes using graphite-loaded epoxy-coated fabric as a master source of electrodes

Abstract

An alternative to the multi-layer coating method of preparing voltammetric disc electrodes is described, which uses a graphite-loaded epoxy polyester net fabric as a master source of the electrodes. The smoothness of the coated fabric surface was improved by polishing with slurries of alumina. Linear sweep voltammograms are very similar to those given previously for this type of surface, which is smooth and homogeneous and gives robust discs.
