OLIGOMER CHAIN LENGTH EFFECT ON THE NUCLEATION AND GROWTH MECHANISMS (NGM) OF POLYTHIOPHENE

In this research a comparative study of the starting unit chain length effect on the electropolymerization of thiophene or its oligomers was carried out considering mono (1Th), bi (2Th), ter (3Th), tetra (4Th) and sexi (6Th)-thiophene as starting units. The deconvolved transient allows stating that...
