ABSTRACT
Subsequent chapters contain individual and comprehensive accounts of advances in dc, ac, pulse, linear sweep, and other polarographic techniques, with much specialized emphasis and discussion relevant to the particular technique. However, many of the polarographic and related electroanalytical techniques actually have a basic formulation with respect to theory, instrumentation, and other characteristics. Recognition of the general principles and problems enables both an understanding of the evolution of polarographic methodology to be reached and predictions of future trends in research, development, and application to be made. Additionally, from generalized discussion, bases on which to later judge the usefulness and limitations of individual techniques arise, and a systematic approach to actually using the polarographic method can be developed.
