The study of conductive polymers is a rapidly growing area in polymer chemistry. Since
conductive polymers carry a charge, they are used in a wide variety of applications. This book examines a
subset within the area of conductive polymers — the electrochemistry that occurs at the interface
between conductive polymers and solutions. Topics include synthesis and characterization as well as
applications in artificial muscles, electrocatalysis, sensor design, biomaterials, fuel cell design, and
corrosion prevention.
From the Preface: “This volume contains, with a few exceptions, the text of presentations from
the symposium ”Electrified Polymer/Solution Interfaces,” held at the San Fransisco, CA
American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting, March 25-31, 2000...Contributions span a number of
fields of interest that are concerned with charged polymer—solution interfaces...”
Target Audience: Researchers, technologists, scientists, and students concerned with
conducting polymers and polymer electrolytes.
