Abstract

Electrochemical polymerization of 4,4-dimethyl-2,2’-bithiophene (4DMBT) was conducted in a hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)/dimethylformamide (DMF) liquid crystalline electrolyte solution. Cyclic voltammetry and in situ UV-vis absorption measurements of poly(4,4-dimethyl-2,2’-bithiophene) (P-4DMBT) were carried out to investigate redox properties.
