a new functional membrane which changes its reflectance spectra according to the ph of the test solution is described. a chloromethylstyrene (cms)/methylmethacrylate (mma) copolymer was chosen as the base for the immobilized reagent. a basic ion-exchanger was then added to the cms/mma copolymer. bromothymol blue (btb) was then immobilized on the copolymer. a functional membrane could then be fabricated in various shapes since chemical modification of cms/mma copolymer could be performed before casting the fabricated ph sensitive functional membrane showed a maximum reflectance change at a wavelength of 540 nm for ph changes from 4.0 to 9.0. dissolution of btb from the cms/mma copolymer was minimal so that good reproducibility of the reflectance change was obtained
