membrane solvent used in polymeric liquid-membrane sensors. Solvent polymeric membranes are usually based on matrix containing about 33% (w/w) of PVC and 66% (w/w) of plasticizer. The presence of such a high amount of plasticizer provides membranes with required physical properties (i.e. lowers the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the membrane polymer, decreases membrane resistance and ensures relatively high mobility of its components). In order to obtain a homogenous membrane phase the plasticizer should be compatible with the polymer.

A substance incorporated into a material to increase its workability or flexibility.
An agent or compound that is added to plastic materials to impart softness or flexibility.
a small molecule that's added to polymer to lower its glass transition temperature. (see: glass transition temperature).
Plasticizers are used with polymer systems to impart workability, flexibility, extensibility, and resilience. External plasticizers maintain their molecular identity and are compatible with the resin by virtue of hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces. Internal plasticizers, on the other hand, are bonded chemically in the polymer system.
