The IIP is synthesized by precipitation polymerization using Cu(II) ions as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate as cross-linking agent. The IIP based plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode exhibits a Nernstian response (27.5 mV/decade) to Cu(II) ions over a wide concentration range of 1.0 \texttimes 1071.0 \texttimes102 mol/L with a detection limit of 4.3 \texttimes 108 mol/L. The selectivity of the electrode has been characterized and the logarithmic Nikolskii coefficients for Cu2+ over Ca2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ and Al3+ have been determined as 3.40, 3.75, 2.90, 2.45 and 3.87, respectively. The sensor shows rapid response, good reproducibility and satisfactory long-term stability.", }
