Electrochemistry of Polymer Films. Applications to Chemical Analysis and Energy Conversion.
Abstract
Electroactive polymers containing the widely studied electron acceptor, tetracyanoquinodimethane or TCNQ, in the polymer backbone have been synthesized. The charge transport processes through thin films of these TCNQ polymers and related materials have been thoroughly studied leading to new insight at the molecular level. Chemical reactions coupled to the electron hopping steps can profoundly influence the rate of charge transport in fixed site polymer films. Methodology and techniques have been developed and refined for the study of polymer film modified electrodes. (Author)
