Abstract
Electrochemically synthesised conducting polymers, such as polypyrrole and poly-3-methylthiophene, were doped with copper and palladium incl usions. These metals are deposited potentiostatically either on the pr istine conducting films or on the partially reduced samples. Gas senso r devices based on these 'doped' organic films show interesting perfor mances in detecting reducing gases such as NH3, H-2 and CO. (C) 1998 E lsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
