Technical Use and Commercial Aspects

An overview of technical applications of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is given in Table 11.1. [Pg.265]

A significant market for electrochemically and chemically polymerized PEDOT originates from capacitor manufacturing, which uses PEDOT as solid electrolyte in aluminum and tantalum polymer capacitors. [Pg.265]

Solid electrolyte capacitors Cathode Chemical polymerization EDOT Oxidant Established [Pg.266]

Solid electrolyte capacitors Cathode Impregnation with polymer dispersion PEDOT PSS Established [Pg.266]

Printed wiring boards Through hole plating Chemical polymerization EDOT (microemulsion) Manganese dioxide (via KMn04 as etching agent) Established [Pg.266]
