Synthesis of Poly(1,4-bis(3',4'-ethylenedioxythiophene)-phenylene) (PBEDOT-P) in Cholesterics
Electrochemical polymerization of 1,4-bis(3',4'-ethylenedioxythiophene)-phenylene (BEDOT-P) was performed in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) as an anisotropic electrolyte solution. The surface morphology and optical properties of the polymer (poly(BEDOT-P)/CLC) thus prepared in the cholesteric electrolyte were examined.
