Ferric PEDOT

In the case of the PEDOT nanoparticle, DBSA was used as a doping agent and a surfactant simultaneously to form a micellar solution. Two different oxidants such as EeCls and APS were employed in order to polymerize EDOT monomer in aqueous solution. The residtant product was quite spherical and its diameter ranged from 35 to lOOnm. When ferric chloride was applied as... 

Reynolds et al. [45] have prepared a water-soluble, self-doped poly(4-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-fc]-[l,4]dioxin-2-yl-methoxy)-l-butanesulfonic acid, sodium salt) (PEDOT-S) (Figure 4.28) by chemical synthesis using ferric chloride in chloroform. The monomer, sulfonated 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, was synthesized by following Chevrot et al. s synthesis method as shown in Figure 4.13 [30]. The electrochromic and hole-transporting multilayer films of PEDOT-S and poly(allylamine...
