Electrochemical versus Chemical Production of Conducting Polymers

ELECTROCHEMICAL VERSUS CHEMICAL PRODUCTION OF CONDUCTING POLYMERS 

Not much effort has been made, except for the Tafel studies, to establish the empirical kinetics and models of interfacial reactions to obtain thick polymeric films ( 100 nm) of industrial interest from different monomers. However, this is much more than the few kinetic studies performed until now to understand the mechanism of chemically initiated polymerization. Electrochemical models still have an advantage in obtaining priority in the industrial production of tailored materials.
