Abstract
Novel polyanilines (PAnOE), containing two or three oxyethylene units in th e polymer side chain, were prepared electrochemically. The cyclic voltammog ram of PAnOE showed a reversible redox couple around 0.6 V(vs. SCE) and ano ther redox couple at more negative potentials. The latter couple was attrib uted to then-type doping and undoping reactions. The molecular weights of P AnOE were high (1,000,000), and the conductivity values were about 1 mS/cm. These unique electrochemical and electrical properties were compared with those of poly-N-alkylanilines.
