ABSTRACT

From the discovery of polyacetylene conductivity in the late 1970s, the eld of conducting polymers is continuously expanding. The long-term interest in conducting polymers originates from their unique properties, namely, adjustable electrical conductivity from insulator over semiconductor and conductor range, reversible electrochemistry, optical-and electro-catalytic activity, environmental stability, possibility of both chemical and electrochemical synthesis, etc. (Inzlet 2008; Wallace et  al. 2009). These unique and diverse properties seem to be interesting for practical applications in the following: electrochemical systems for energy conversion and storage, electronics, electrochromic devices, materials for sensing and biosensing, corrosion control, etc. (Wang et al. 2004; Jyongsik 2006; Grgur et al. 2008; Bezbradica et al. 2011; Gvozdenović et al. 2011a,b,c,d; Jambrec et al. 2012).
