Polymer prepared from 3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thiophene (source-based polymer name).
Notes:
- PEDOT is an intrinsically conducting polythiophene class polymer that is mostly used as a blend with sulfonated polystyrene (PEDOT-PSS), which is produced by oxidative polymerization of 3,4-[ethylene-1,2-bis(oxy)]thiophene (traditional name 3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thiophene, therefore abbreviated as EDOT) in an aqueous solution of partly neutralized sulfonated polystyrene.
- The PEDOT-PSS is stable in ambient environment, water-dispersible thus processable from aqueous systems and considered as a non-toxic material for the flexible and printed organic electronics and photovoltaics. PEDOT-PSS belongs among the most often used materials for organic as well as organic/inorganic electronic and photovoltaic devices, for antistatic and electrochromic coatings and films, and also exhibits the thermoelectric effect.
