Abstract
Cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and FTIR-ATR techniques were used to investigate the phenol electropolymerization on carbon steel and stainless steel electrodes in carbonate aqueous medium. Phenol electropolymerization occurs on a passivated surface and the polymer grows to thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mu m. Polymeric films are adherent and stables under ambient condition s. The polymeric film maintains aromatic character and contains ether-linke d rings.
