Abstract

Ultrasonication helps direct electrodeposition of inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) into the pores of microporous membranes. Use of microporous membranes in conjunction with a partially immersed cylindrical horizontally revolving electrode (PICHRE) permits the production of conducting films on a continuous basis. Production and electrical and mechanical characteristics are described.
