Exfoliated nanocomposites of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and montmorillonite (MMT) have been prepared by in situ anodic polymerization, concentrations of clay ranging from 5% w/w to 50% w/w being included in the aqueous polymerization medium. The morphology, electrical conductivity, adherence, thermal stability, charge storage, specific capacitance, electrostability, doping level and band gap have been determined for the different PEDOT-MMT nanocomposites and compared with those of pristine PEDOT. Many of these properties have been found to depend on both the concentration of clay and the thickness (micrometric or nanometric) of the generated films. Types I and II ultracapacitors have been fabricated using nanometric and micrometric films of PEDOT and PEDOT-MMT. The properties of such devices have been characterized and compared with those reported in the literature for ultracapacitors fabricated using nanocomposites of PEDOT and other inorganic materials. Both nanometric and micrometric type II ultracapacitors, which correspond to an asymmetric configuration of PEDOT and PEDOT-MMT films, have been found to present the better properties (e.g. the specific capacitance for nanometric and micrometric devices is 429 and 116 F g À1 , respectively), evidencing the favorable effect of the clay. Finally, the effects of the electrochemical degradation on the ultracapacitors have been rationalized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

“…A solution with 3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene (EDOT) (Aldrich) and 20% oxidant iron(III)p-toluenesulfonate (Fe(OTS) 3 ) (Aldrich) in butanol were mixed 1:24 (v/v) before 0.028 g/ml basic inhibitor pyridine was added. The solution was spin coated inside the petri dishes at 1200 rpm for 120 s [16][17][18] or barcoated on flat PET foils. A homogenous film was formed by moving a coating rod at 150 mm/s along the substrate.…”

Conducting polymers are soft, flexible materials, exhibiting material properties that can be reversibly changed by electrochemically altering the redox state. Surface chemistry is an important determinant for the molecular events of cell adhesion. Therefore, we analyzed whether the redox state of the conducting polymer PEDOT:Tosylate can be used to control epithelial cell adhesion and proliferation. A functionalized cell culture dish comprising two adjacent electrode surfaces was developed. Upon electronic addressing, reduced and oxidized surfaces are created within the same device. Simultaneous analysis of how a homogenous epithelial MDCK cell population responded to the electrodes revealed distinct surface-specific

“…The polymerization is extremely rapid and is typically conducted in solution. 136 To adapt this polymerization to the present nanocasting method, several experimental challenges had to be solved. The solution-based synthesis of PEDOT within the pores of a nanoporous PE monolith is not a viable means to template the structure of the latter, because the majority component-the solvent-is removed after polymerization.…”

“…133 We have demonstrated nanoporous PE as a template by which nanoporous PEDOT monoliths are conveniently nanocast. 134 EDOT monomer can be polymerized electrochemically or by initiation with a suitable oxidant, 135 such as the salts iron(III) chloride 135 and iron(III) tris-p-toluenesulfonate 136 (Fe(OTs) 3 ). Oxidation of PEDOT chains leaves the final product in a doped, conducting state.…”

Ternary blends of two homopolymers and a diblock copolymer can self-assemble into interpenetrating, three-dimensionally continuous networks with a characteristic length scale of B100 nm. In this review, we summarize our recent work demonstrating that these equilibrium fluid phases, known as polymeric bicontinuous microemulsions (BlE), can be designed as versatile precursors to nanoporous materials having pores with uniform sizes of B100 nm. As a model system, nanoporous polyethylene (PE) is derived from BlEs composed entirely of polyolefins. This monolithic material is then used as a template in the synthesis of other nanoporous materials for which structural control at the nm scale has traditionally been difficult to achieve. These materials, which include a high-temperature ceramic, polymeric thermosets and a conducting polymer, are produced by a simple nanocasting process, providing an inverse replica of the PE template. The PE is further used as a template for the production of hierarchically structured inorganic and polymeric materials by infiltration of mesostructured compounds into its pore network. The work described herein represents an unprecedented suite of nanoporous materials with well-defined pore structures prepared from a single PE template. They are anticipated to have potential application in diverse technological areas, including catalysis, separations and electronic devices.
