Abstract
Double step polymerization combining chemical oligomerization and electrochemical polymerization of 3,4-ethyelenedioxythiophene was carried out in cholesteric liquid crystal to produce optically active poly(3,4-ethylenedixoythiphene). Polarizing optical microscopy was carried out to investigate the polymer film.
