Electrochemical synthesis of electroconducting polymers

Chemical and Electrochemical Syntheses of Conducting Polymers

Polymers can be prepared using chemical and/or electrochemical methods of polymerization (see Chap. 2), although most redox polymers have been synthesized by chemical polymerization. Electrochemically active groups are either incorporated into the polymer structure inside the chain or included as a pendant group (prefunctionalized polymers), added to the polymer phase during polymerization, or ...

Electrochemical Sensors Based on Organic Conjugated Polymers

Organic conjugated polymers (conducting polymers) have emerged as potentialcandidates for electrochemical sensors. Due to their straightforward preparation methods,unique properties, and stability in air, conducting polymers have been applied to energystorage, electrochemical devices, memory devices, chemical sensors, and electrocatalysts.Conducting polymers are also known to be compatible with...

Polymers and Their Synthesis

Electrochemical adjustment of the work function of conducting polymers

During the last two decades conducting polymers were used for conductive coatings, for corrosion protection and as materials for sensors and separation membranes [1]. More recently it has been demonstrated that conducting polymers are applicable as an active layer in solar cells and organic light emitting diodes (OLED), see Fig. 1, [2-4]. In all applications the conducting polymers are used in ...
