Abstract

Selectivity behavior to electroactive and non-electroactive substances of a polyimide prepared from 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl and the corresponding dianhydride was examined by electrochemical methods. From the excellent electrochemical findings obtained, it was observed that polyimide film was only permeable to hydrogen peroxide among the substances examined. Therefore, it is claimed that the mentioned polymeric film can be successfully used as a hydrogen peroxide-selective membrane in the presence of electroactive and non-electroactive interferents.
