In this paper we present the study of the electrochemical properties of the following conducting polymers: poly(o-anisidine),
polyaniline and copolymers of aniline and o-anisidine obtained by a new synthetic method. The polymers are synthesized
in free-of-acid conditions, using an activated…

The electrochemical homo-polymerization of o-, m- and p-aminobenzoic acids has been performed on Pt electrodes in perchloric acid aqueous medium by cyclic scanning of the potential. Different limit potentials were employed to obtain thin polymeric films. When the switching potential…

The poly(o-aminophenol) (POAP) redox process has been studied in aqueous acid solution using spectroscopic and optic in situ
techniques. The redox transition of the POAP from its completely oxidized state to its completely reduced state occurs through two
consecutive reactions…

The redox process undergone by the electrochemically synthesized poly(2,2-dithiodianiline), poly(DTDA), has been examined in
acetonitrile-water mixtures by electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic properties of this material are equivalent to those exhibited by the chemically synthesized one. The polymeric structure…

Aniline (ANI) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (2ATA) copolymers, with different compositions, were prepared by
chemical oxidative polymerization varying the feed ratio. The new materials have been characterized by techniques such
as XPS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopies and thermal analysis. It has been…

The electrochemical regeneration of an activated carbon, previously saturated with toluene by gas phase adsorption, was studied. Cathodic and anodic regeneration methods were analyzed using a small batch electrochemical cell. In both cases, a stripping efficiency close to 100% was…

The electrochemical oxidation of the aniline dimers 2-aminodiphenylamine (2-adpa) and 4-aminodiphenylamine (4-adpa) has been
performed in strongly acidic medium on platinum, graphite, and indium tin oxide electrodes. The resulting films have been
characterized by a number of electrochemical, microscopic, and…

An easy method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles supported on conductive polymers has been explored. The synthesis was carried out under “soft” conditions, i.e., at low temperatures and without using strong reducing agent. The optimal synthesis conditions have been established. Thus,…

The electrocatalytic oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) at neutral pH in aqueous solution has been studied over thin films of electroactive sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) by cyclic voltammetry. Strong adsorption of the oxidised species (ferrocenium ion) on the polymer arises as the…

The electrochemical homopolymerization of o-aminobenzoic acid has been performed on both gold and graphite surfaces in perchloric acid aqueous medium by cyclic scanning of the potential. Electroactive polymeric materials are formed in all cases but the amount of electropolymerization products…
