Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Studies of Polypyrrole and Polyaniline

Abstract

The electronic conducting polymers are of considerable interest, because of the large range of possible applications. Electrochemical techniques are interesting for the study of such materials, because they can be used to prepare many conducting polymers, to determine several of their characteristics which are important for applications and to give a better understanding of the electron transfer in the material. From this point of view, if we use an optical in situ technique with the electrochemistry, the interpretation of the experimental phenomena is much more efficient.
