Synthesis and characterization of maleimide functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) polymers

Abstract

Electrochemical deposition of maleimide-functionalized 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT+) monomers and their conducting polymer derivatives (PEDOT+). PEDOT+ can be created by depositing EDOT-MA, or by exposing PEDOT-MA to the functionalized thiol.
