Scheme 2

Procedure for the preparation of the segmented polymer-metal nanostructures within the pores of a Cu-backed AAO membrane: 1) electrodeposition of Au from a neutral gold electroplating solution (pH~7.4) at a current density of 0.5 mA/cm2; 2) formation of a SAM of thioaniline (see inset at the bottom of the figure); 3) electropolymerization of PANI; 4) dissolution of the AAO membrane.
