A new type of solid state electrodes sensitive to pH changes is described, in which the chemical‐sensitive layer consists of Pt microparticles deposited on a conducting polymer (polyaniline, polypyrrole) blend containing 22.7% w/w zeolite. These sensors are stable in aqueous electrolyte solutions of low pH value at temperatures up to 45°C with response time in seconds. At 25°C, sensor sensitivity was −310 ± 40 mV/pH and −1300 ± 100 mV/pH for polyaniline and polypyrrole blends, respectively. Interferences appear to be acceptably small. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
