Abstract
Polythiophenes substituted with hexyl, cyclohexyl and methyl at the 3 position, and poly(3,4-dihexylthiophene) were synthesized. The propert ies of the polymers were characterized for conductivity, electroactivi ty, mechanical and thermal stability using NMR, gel permeation chromat ography, cyclic voltammetry and thermal gravimetric analysis. With bul ky substituents, all the properties of the polymer are very much affec ted as can be seen from poly (3-cyclohexylthiophene).
