The polymer and copolymer formed have been characterized voltammetrically. The sulfonated polyaniline coated mercury thin-film electrodes have been evaluated for use with anodic stripping voltammetry. The electrodes were tested and compared with a conventional thin-film mercury electrode. Calibration plots showed linearity up to 10-7 mol L-1. Detection limits for zinc, lead and cadmium test species are very similar at around 12 nmol L-1. Applications to analysis of waters samples are demonstrated.

Introduction Sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN), a water soluble conducting polymer is interesting because of its unusual electroactive properties, improved processability and potencial industrial applications [1-2]. Self-doped polyanilines have more stable and reproducible electrical properties and higher thermal stability than polyaniline (PANI) and showed a pH-independent conductivity from pH 0 to 14 [2]. Yue and Epstein [3] have synthesized the first protonic acid self-doped polyaniline by reaction of emeraldine base with fuming sulfuric acid to give a sulfonic acid ring-substituted polyaniline powder having a conductivity of about 0.1 S/cm and saturation of the poly
