Summary
o-toluidine was polymerized electrochemically using constant-potential electrolysis at a gold electrode surface. Electrochemical behavior of dopamine and ascorbic acid at the polymer electrode prepared in this manner was examined by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. The influence of chemical and electrochemical variables on dopamine selectivity of the polymer electrode was systematically investigated and the optimal values for each parameter were determined. Experimental results showed that optimized polymeric membrane exhibited selectivity for dopamine while blocking ascorbic acid. Therefore, it is claimed that poly (o-toluidine) film can be used as a dopamine-selective polymeric membrane in the presence of ascorbic acid.
Key Words: poly (o-toluidine); selective membrane; dopamine
