A simply prepared graphite, pencil-type working electrode was utilized to monitor fenitrothion concentrations, using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry methods. The optimum conditions for analysis were sought. A very low detection limit was obtained compared to that obtained when other common voltammetry methods are used. The optimal parameters of the pencil-type electrode were found to be as follows: a pH of 3.7, a frequency of 500 Hz, an SW amplitude of 0.1 V, an increment potential of 0.005 V, an initial potential of -0.9V, and a deposition time of 500 sec. The analytical detection limit was determined to be 6.0 ngL-1 (2.16410-11 molL-1) fenitrothion at SW anodic and CV, and the relative standard deviation at the fenitrothion concentration of SW anodic 10 ugL-1 was 0.30% (n = 15) under the optimum conditions. Analysis was directly conducted through in-vivo real-time assay.

In this paper, a single lap shear test was performed using a glass fiber reinforced composite material (GFRC). Pencil lead drawn paper sensor (PLDPS) was applied for single lap shear test being performed. Bisphenol-A epoxy and amine hardener were used as adhesives combining with composite materials. To make a difference in adhesive properties, the adhesive was cured under different conditions. PLDPS was made of a 4B pencil on A4 paper. Because graphite in a pencil was an electrically conductive substance, electric resistance (ER) could be measured. A change in ER was observed by a position where a PLDPS was attached to single lap shear specimens. It was confirmed that the change in ER was different depending on two attached positions and was observed by lap shear strain as well. In case the lap shear strain was large, the change in ER of PLDPS was high. This was because the larger the extension of the adhesive part, the larger the degree of bending of the specimen and thus the larger the distance change between two electrodes.
