Poly(N-glycidyl carbazole): A new crosslinkable conjugated polymer
A poly(N-glycidyl carbazole) was synthesized by electropolymerization of 3,6-dibromo-N-glycidyl carbazole. Characterization of both products by different chemical and electrochemical techniques is then discussed. The polymer that showed electronic conductive properties when doped was crosslinked by cis-cyclohexane 1,2 dicarboxylic anhydride. The crosslinking reaction was followed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). An optimization of the crosslinking conditions was first performed on the monomer and subsequently applied to the polymer.
