| Summary: | Electroconducting polymers from the group of synthetic metals are extensively
investigated due to numerous properties perspective in practical application.
These materials may be synthesized by both chemical and electrochemical
procedures. Chemical synthesis is suitable when bulk quantities of the
polymer are needed and up to date it presents dominant commercial method of
producing electroconducting polymers. Nevertheless, electrochemical synthesis
has its advantages; it avoids usage of oxidants since conducting polymeric
material is obtained at anode upon application of positive potential, leading
to increased purity. On the other hand, since the polymer is deposited onto
electrode, further electrochemical characterization is facilitated. Owing to
actuality of the research in the field this texts aims to describe important
aspects of electrochemical synthesis of electroconducting polymers, with
special emphasis to polyaniline and polypyrrole. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
