Abstract
Smooth, coherent and well adherent polythiophene coatings on iron coul d be galvanostatically electrodeposited from 0.1 M bisthiophene in the presence of 0.1 M KNO3 or oxalic add in partially aqueous systems. A cosolvent like acetonitrile or dimethylformamide was necessary due to the limited solubility of the monomer. Thicknesses of 2 pm are typical for these coatings, which are of interest as corrosion inhibiting pol ymer layers.
