Chemical waves in modified membranes I: developing the technique

Abstract A novel technique to fix BZ catalysts on commercially available membranes is described. Chemical waves can be observed in the membranes for more than 10 hours, when they are placed in a batch reactor. Two dimensional excitable regions of arbitrary shape can be created either by cutting the membranes or by painting these shapes on the membrane surface.
