Abstract
Sol-gel process was used in this study to prepare a reagent phase for used in the development of an optical fibre Al(III) sensor. This include the preparation of a sol-gel film using a dip-coating technique and incorporated fluorimetric reagent into the film. This paper will basically discussed the details of the technique used for the entrapment of the reagent, the results obtained and some fundamental problems faced during the study.
