A dual-transducer approach based on sol-gel optical sensors was recently reported to measure acid and salt concentrations in concentrated aqueous and HC1 solutions57. The acid sensors containing bromocresol purple, neutral red, and bromocresol green indicators were obtained by the immobilization of indicators in sol-gel derived films. The salt-HCl solution was flowed through the sensor cell58.

New fields such as sol-gel optics are based on the synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic materials. They offer a new kind of materials ranging from polymers to glasses.
