In the present work, the doped (composite) films of poly(o-anisidine)-polyvinylsulphonic acid (POA-PVS), poly(o-anisidine)-toluenesulphonic acid (POA-pTS), and poly(o-anisidine)-dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid (POA-DBS) were synthesized on a platinum electrode, using electrochemical polymerization. These synthesized films were characterized by electrochemical techniques, conductivity measurement, UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimal film growth was achieved for synthesis of the POA film in the presence of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid (DBS). The POA-DBS composite film exhibits good electrochemical properties, conductivity with a uniformly porous surface morphology which can be used for the immobilization of biocomponent.
