Abstract
Conductometric transducing is suggested for electrocatalytic chemical sensors based on conductive polymers. Lateral conductivity of the polymer layers was measured by two- and four-point techniques. The approach was applied for electroanalytical detection of ascorbic acid on the electrocatalytically active polyaniline and poly-ortho-methoxyaniline electrodes. Both polymers displayed a monotonous concentration dependence of their conductance in the analytically important sub-millimolar concentration range of ascorbic acid. The approach was tested in model solutions of ascorbic acid in buffer and applied for detection of ascorbic acid in orange juice. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
