The nanopores are developed by using one side etching of swift heavy ion irradiated polymeric membrane. In an electrolytic cell, the chemical solution serves as well as etchant and as an electrolyte. In the moment breakthrough of a track the beginning and increasing electrical current supplies information of the birth and growing of the track. The membranes used can be seen as model systems acting as interconnects between two separate liquids. There is a significant difference in the electrical conduction behavior of the electrolytes having common anion. It is clear from the voltage current characteristics that electrical conduction through the etched membrane of polycarbonate is dependent on size of cation.
