Polyelectrolyte titration, which was called colloid titration is based on the stoichiometric reaction between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, This can be used, for instance, to determine the charge density of a cationic polyelectrolyte, using an anionic polyelectrolyte of known charge density, such as potassium polyvinyl sulfate (PPVS). The technique requires a suitable method of end-point detection and there are several possibilities. In this work, two methods have been investigated: visual titrimetry based on the color change of a cationic dye (o-toluidine blue, o-Tb) and spectrophotometry based on the absorbance change corresponding to the color change of the same dye. These have been applied to several cationic polyelectrolytes with different charge density and molecular weight. In all cases, the cationic charge was due to quaternary nitrogen groups. In the case of cationic dye, it was shown that the sharpness depends on the charge density of cationic polyelectrolyte. With the polyelectrolytes of lower charge density, the binding to PPVS is weaker and binding of the dye to PPVS can occur before all of the polyelectrolyte charge has been neutralized. However, by carrying out titrations at several polyelectrolyte concentrations, good linear relationships were found, from which reliable charge density values could be derived. Effects of pH and ionic strength were also briefly investigated. For cationic polyelectrolytes (copolymers of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethy] acrylate), there was some loss of charge at higher pH values, probably as a result of hydrolysis. Increasing ionic strength causes a less distinct color change of o-Tb, as a result of weaker electrostatic interactions.

This paper presents a methodology for the electric field analysis of substation. For the electric field analysis of substation, the electrodes(substation busbars) must be represented by finite line with nonlinear charge density. In the case of dividing finite line into uniform segments, a large number of variables have to be used to obtain the accuracy within a desired tolerance. To deal with the problem, nonuniform charge arrangement modeling method is suggested. To reduce potential calculation errors, the linear charge density function is considered particularly for the segment charge model ling. If the charge arrangement is improper, the accuracy not improved regardless of increment in the number of segments. This paper proposes an optimal charge arrangement method through potential error analysis. And, the optimal charge arrangement function is formulated by a lot of simulation results.

This study was attempted to propose a method evaluating fixation of active ingredients in Copper-Chromium-Arsenic preservatives treatment. Fixated amount of active ingredients on wood was obtained by measuring the density of surface electric charge based on $\varsigma$ potential. Data accumulated from density of surface electric charge showed that the fixated amount of preservatives on wood increased linearly as concentration of treating solution increaced, which indicatied quantitative reactions in fixation of preservatives.

An accurate method for extracting both Si film doping concentration and front or back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density of fully depleted SOI devices is proposed. The method utilizes the current-to-voltage and capacitance-to-voltage characteristics of both SOI NMOSFET and PMOSFET which have the same doping concentration. The Si film doping concentration and the front or back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density are extracted by mainpulating the respective threshold voltages of the SOI NMOSFET and PMOSFET according to the back surface condition (accumulation or inversion) and the capacitance-to-voltage characteristics of the SOI PMOSFET. Device simulations show that the proposed method has less than 10% errors for wide variations of the film doping concentration and the front or the back silicon-to-oxide fixed charge density.

This work presents the way how to evaluate the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the nickel hydroxide film cathodically deposited on pure nickel as a positive electrode for electrochemical capacitor using the combined cyclic voltammetry and potential drop method, supplemented by galvanostatic discharge and open-circuit potential transient methods. The time interval necessary just to establish the current reversal of anodic to cathodic direction from the moment just after applying the potential inversion of anodic to cathodic direction, was obtained on cyclic voltammogram. The cathodic charge density passed upon dropping the applied potential, was calculated on potentiostatic current density-time curve. Both the time interval and the cathodic charge density in magnitude can be regarded as being measures of the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the positive active material for supercapacitor, i.e. , the longer the time interval is, the lower is the degree of reversibility and the greater the cathodic charge density is, the higher is the degree of reversibility. From the applied potential dependences of the time interval and cathodic charge density, discharge at $0.42 V_{SCE}$ was determined to be the most reversible.

The use of the pulsed electro acoustic (PEA) method allowed us to perform the direct observations of spatio-temporal charge distributions in Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) based on polarizable nanoporous carbonaceous electrode. The negative charge density became the maximum, about 205 $C/m^3$ at the region where was near to collector layer in EDLCs for case $V_{DC}$ = 2.5 V, while the positively charged density became the maximum, about 61.1 $C/m^3$ at the region where it was located around the cathode layer. The PEA measurement used here is a very useful method to quantitively investigates the spatio-temporal charge distribution in EDLCs.

The determination of charge density and charge distribution in montmorillonite are discussed. The method is based on cation exchange of the inorganic interlayer cations against decylammonium ion and molecular intercalation of n-alcanol. The results obtained from Yougil-bentonite show that charge density of 0.37 per unit formula and cation exchange capacity of 102.5 meq/100g.

SO42-/Al2O3 powder was prepared by the coprecipitation method from the Al(NO3)3.9H2O and NH4OH and followed by being treated with various concentrations of sulfuric acid. The characterization of these powders was performed with XRD, BET and FT-IR. The surface charge density at alumina/KCl(aq) interface was measured by potentiometric titration method. From the experimental data it was shown that acid strength, specfic surface area, and structure of surface treated alumina were independent on the amount of exchanged SO42-. However, the acid amounts of alumina were increased with the amounts of SO42- formed on alumina surface. The relation between the acid amount of SO42- ion exchanged alumina surface and the surface charge density for SO42-/Al2O3/KCl(aq) interface was investigated.

In this paper, a method for computing the capacitance parameter for a multi-interconnection line in a multilayered dielectric region is presented. The number of interconnection lines and the number of dielectric layers are arbitrary, and the interconnection lines are finite cross section or infinite cross section. The surface of lines and dielectric interface are divided into subsection. The surface charge density of each subsection is a constant step-pulse function for each subsection. After the solution of surface charge density is effected by the method of moments, capacitance parameter is calculated.

This paper analysed the ionized fields around HVDC transmission line by the use of the charge simulation method. As this is very complex and expressed by a non-linear partial differential equations, it is hard to solve problems analytically. So, we developed a computer program which can apply in multi-polar HVDC transmission line with conductor bundles and calculated conductor surface gradient, corona current density and ion charge density to prove validity of a proposed algorithm in this paper.
