A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) polypyrrole (PPy)-based film was fabricated for the determination of ascorbic acid. The film was prepared by incorporation of a template molecule (ascorbic acid) during the electropolymerization of pyrrole onto a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) in aqueous solution using a cyclic voltammetry method. The performance of the imprinted and non-imprinted (NIP) fi...

lism. Severe changes in the concentration of uric acid causes several diseases such as gout, hyperuricemia and Lesch–Nyhan syndrome. Therefore, the accurate determination of uric acid in urine samples can be a powerful indicator of diagnosing diseases. Thus, many researchers have focused to develop a simple, sensitive and accurate method for determining uric acid. Various methods have been deve...

The electrooxidation behaviors of thiophene and 3-methylthiophene on a Pt surface in acetonitrile/tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate solution were investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The electropolymerization of these monomers and electrochemical properties of polythiophene and poly(3methylthiophene) were studied in neutral, acidic and basic media. Mechanisms related to the formation of po...
