Poly(o-phenylenediamine-co-2-aminobenzothiazole), P(oPD-co-2ABT), has been synthesized electrochemically from an aqueous acid medium. The initial rate of electrocopolymerization reaction on platinum electrode is small, and the rate law is Rate2.08 . The apparent activation energy (E a ) is found to be 57.44 kJ mol À1 . The polymer films obtained have been characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, TGA, scanning electron microscopy, and IR-spectroscopy. The mechanism of the electrochemical polymerization reaction has been discussed. The monomer reactivity ratios (r 1 and r 2 ) were calculated using Fineman-Rö ss method.
