ELECTROCHEMICAL FORMATION OF A SELF-DOPED CONDUCTIVE POLYMER IN THE ABSENCE OF A SUPPORTING ELECTROLYTE - THE COPOLYMERIZATION OF O-AMINOBENZENESULFONIC ACID AND ANILINE

Electrochemical polymerization without a supporting electrolyte would most probably yield a material with more reproducible and better defined properties, and is therefore a technique to be encouraged. The formation of an electroactive, self-doped polymer (see Figure) by electropolymerization is described and the analysis of the resulting films presented.
