Redox-Active Conjugated Polymer-Based Recognition 

The synthesis of ECPs can be electrochemically or chemically achieved. The significance of the electrochemical method is that the potymer is obtained in one step as a film deposited on the electrode surface from the oxidation of the corresponding monomer in solution. The film thickness can be easily controlled from the electric charge consumed during the electropolymerization reaction. So, nanometric-thickness films can be electrodeposited on macroelectrodes but also on ultramicroelectrodes. Moreover, the electrochemical route allows the deposition of uniform films onto
