| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The deterioration of machine lubricants and engine oils can be commonly estimated through total acid number (TAN), which is the acidity measured by a general titration using KOH(aq.). However, its operation is quite complicated and thus online monitoring the TAN is quite difficult. Therefore, development of solid-state sensors using ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (IS-FET) has been attempted in this study. Both the IS-FET and a reference Ag/AgCl electrode, which were set at the tip surface of general pH sensors, were coated with a cation-conducting polymer film. The sensors obtained were capable of monitoring the acidity of both as-received and heat-treated oils, and the pH values, which were directly measured by the sensors, were relatively correlated with the derived pH values, which were calculated from TAN measured by the general titration method.
