Abstract
Polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene (PEDT) was investigated in neutral aqueous solution by electrochemical method. The electrochem ical behavior of the polymer, and the electropolymerization mechanism were studied by cyclic voltammetry, FTIR, XPS and UV-spectroscopy. The study of polymerization mechanism showed that the electropolymerizati on was-a radical cation polymerization process, and the anion of some electrolytes which effected the character of the polymer was involved in the polymerization.
