“…Thus, it can be concluded that PEDOT chains do not aggregate in the presence of polyelectrolyte microspheres. 27,33 It is worth noting that the degree of swelling in water of the PSS-2/PEDOT, PSS-3/PEDOT, and PSS-4/PEDOT complexes is significantly reduced compared to the initial polyelectrolyte microspheres. Thus, the size of the PSS-2/PEDOT, PSS-3/PEDOT, and PSS-4/PEDOT microspheres in water is 50-100 and 250-300 and 80-120 mm, respectively.…”

“…Therefore, in case of using crosslinked poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) microspheres as a template for the EDOT polymerization one may achieve more uniform distribution of PEDOT chains in contrast to application of sulfonated polystyrene beads where conductive microspheres with a core-shell structure are only possible. 27 Fig. 6 SEM images of PSS-2/PEDOT (a-c), PSS-3/PEDOT (d-f), and PSS-4/PEDOT (g-i) microspheres.…”

“…Usually, researchers perform sulfonation of ready-made polystyrene latex particles. 27 As a result of sulfonation, polyelectrolyte particles with sulfonate groups localized only on the particle surface layer are formed. The subsequent use of such cross-linked polystyrene microspheres for the polymerization of EDOT leads to the formation of PEDOT that is also localized on the particle surface.…”

“…The main disadvantages of PEDOT are its insolubility in solvents and its poor mechanical properties. An improvement of PEDOT mechanical properties can be achieved by preparing it as part of composites with templates of various structures: soluble and film-forming polymers [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], latex particles [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], etc. The most promising templates are sulfonated polymers, which form stable complexes with PEDOT [ 12 ].…”
Conductive hydrogels are polymeric materials that are promising for bioelectronic applications. In the present study, a complex based on sulfonic cryogels and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was investigated as an example of a conductive hydrogel. Preparation of polyacrylate cryogels of various morphologies was carried out by cryotropic gelation of 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate and sulfobetaine methacrylate in the presence of functional comonomers (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate). Polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene in the presence of several of the above cryogels occurred throughout the entire volume of each polyelectrolyte cryogel because of its porous structure. Structural features of cryogel@PEDOT complexes in relation to their electrochemical properties were investigated. It was shown that poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) of a linear conformation was formed in the presence of a cryogel based on sulfobetaine methacrylate, while minimum values of charge-transfer resistance were observed in those complexes, and electrochemical properties of the complexes did not depend on diffusion processes.
The aim of the investigation is to demonstrate the fundamental possibility of polyelectrolyte microsphere formation with a high density of charged groups.
