I am trying to prepare Moleculary imprinted over oxidized polypyrrole, how does Over-oxidation play its role should be well understood.

Studies of the overoxidation of polypyrrole.
Some methods have been employed for the determination of the overoxidation potential of polypyrrole (PPy) in this paper.
In its non-overoxidized form, PPy (polypyrrole) is a conductive polymer. Once you start The overoxidation will transform the PPy electroactive film into a non conductive one. I have used the OPPy (overoxidized polypyrrole) as a non conductive permselctive membrane (see link), but for you case, i think you shouldnt do that. I dont think that MIP will work on OPPy. At least not in completely overoxidized PPy. But you can also control the degree of overoxidation, in case you need a partial overoxidation.
Hope it helps.

Over oxidation of pyrrole helps remove the inherent charge and can be used in molecularly imprinted polymer fabrication. My Question is does Overoxidation helps remove the template ? Yes to some extent or this process is enough to remove the imprinted template?
