“…CPs exhibit improved impedance characteristics and provide a softer mechanical interface when compared to conventional metal electrodes [1,[13][14][15][16][17]. CPs have an intrinsically unstable conjugated backbone, which when doped with appropriate ions can be used to pass both electronic and ionic charges.…”

Conducting polymers hold significant promise as electrode coatings; however, they are characterized by inherently poor mechanical properties. Blending or producing layered conducting polymers with other polymer forms, such as hydrogels, has been proposed as an approach to improving these properties. There are many challenges to producing hybrid polymers incorporating conducting polymers and hydrogels, including the fabrication of structures based on two such dissimilar materials and evaluation of the properties of the resulting structures. Although both fabrication and evaluation of structure-property relationships remain challenges, materials comprised of conducting polymers and hydrogels are promising for the next generation of bioactive electrode coatings.

Use of Ionic Liquids as Electrolytes in Electromechanical Actuator Systems Based on Inherently Conducting Polymers

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes for electromechanical actuators based on polypyrroles (PPy's) is described. The composition of the electrolytes has a significant effect on the electrochemical properties of the PPy actuator and subsequently on actuator performance, improving cycle life and strain generated. The actuator performance in ionic liquid electrolytes is significantly better than that in traditional organic and aqueous electrolytes.

“…Among the various SPM techniques, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) have been extraordinarily useful for obtaining images of the electrode surface directly, also under a controlled polarisation potential [14][15][16][17][18][19]. In particular, AFM and electrochemical AFM have been extensively used in the study of the polymer deposition process at varying the polymerisation conditions, such as type of substrate, solvent, supporting electrolyte, temperature, etc., as well as in the investigation of the polymerisation procedure [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Among CPs, polypyrrole (PPy) has been widely studied using SPM techniques.…”

Electrochemical AFM technique has been used for the in situ study of the electrogeneration-deposition process of polybithiophene at varying the polymerisation conditions, such as supporting electrolyte, i.e., LiClO 4 or tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate, and polymerisation procedure, i.e., either potentiostatic or potentiodynamic method. In order to better follow the evolution of the morphology of the deposit, particularly during the early stages of the polymer film growth, a suitable home-made electrochemical cell has been used.
