The wetting properties of the used carbon paper and electrodeposited MIP film were characterized by their static water contact angle (WCA) with the manual optical tensiometer (Theta Lite, Attension) using sessile drop method. Hence, 10 µL drop of distilled water was placed on the surface of the sample using a microsyringe. The contact angles within 30 s were monitored by 60 FPS (frames per second) cameras every 1 s and the average of each measurement was calculated with its standard deviation.
