Electroactive polyacrylates bearing linear conjugated systems based on EDOT moieties
New polyacrylates bearing an electropolymerizable bi or terthiophene group have been synthesized via classical radical polymerization and via RAFT process. Polymerizations can be controlled if thiophene moieties have protected a positions; otherwise polymerization is difficult or impossible. Cross-linked polymers can be obtained after film electropolymerizations on different electrodes (gold, carbon and platinum). (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
