ABSTRACT

This chapter provides an overview of how electrochemistry is still involved in some of these various aspects. It outlines the fundamental knowledge to gradually mention more results in a non-exhaustive way, essentially targeting application. The chapter discusses most of other organic and inorganic materials, conjugated polymers have fully reached their nanosize era, and the use of electrochemical methods to build nanostructures, sometimes associated with other materials in nanocomposites. A gradual growth of vibration bands in the infrared spectrum can be seen, as well as a red-shift of the electronic absorption upon doping in the ultraviolet-vis spectra. Research on modified aniline monomers quickly paced off since almost all polymers from substituted anilines had uninteresting properties, though articles continued to appear in the 2010s. In the field of heterocycles the situation is different, although the production of new electropolymerizable monomers has also decreased.
