Conducting polymers such as polyaniline and polypyrrole exhibit novel sensoric properties and are able to interact chemically or electrochemically with the species of interest for detection. In the current investigation, construction of a sensor based on an electrochemical reaction between Cr VI and a thin layer of polyaniline, coated at the surface of quartz crystal electrode, is reported. Polyaniline was synthesized, electrochemically, at the surface of quartz crystal electrode. It was then reduced at Ϫ0.1 V versus Ag/AgCl. The modified electrode was exposed to various concentrations of Cr VI solutions ranging from 10 Ϫ7 to 10 Ϫ1 M. Mass changes of the polymermodified electrode due to the reaction between Cr VI and polyaniline was found to be linear, corresponding to the concentration of Cr VI . The experiments in both acidic and nonacidic conditions were performed. In both conditions, linear double-logarithmic calibration curves of mass change of the polymer film versus Cr VI concentration were obtained.
