Electrochemical Investigation of Electronically Conductive Polymers

Electronically conductive polymers are a fascinating new class of materials with unique electronic, electrochemical, and optical properties (1). One of the most interesting aspects of these polymers is that they can be reversibly “switched” between electronically insulating and electronically conductive states. Numerous researchers in a variety of conductor transition (1). In addition to being an interesting scientific phenomenon, this switching process plays an integral role in nearly all of the proposed chemical applications of electronically conductive polymers (2–13)
