Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Electroinitiated Polymerization of 2-Allylphenol(Springer-verlag, 2000) Cihaner, A; Önal, AMRedox behaviour of 2-allylphenol (2APhOH) was studied by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electroinitiated polymerization was conducted at the measured peak potentials. Constant potential electrolysis (CPE) of the monomer was carried out in acetonitrile-sodium perchlorate, solvent-electrolyte couple, at room temperature. Polymerization of the monomer yielded insoluble polymer films on the surface of the electrode together with the low molecular weight polymers in the bulk of the solution. The structural analysis of the polymers were carried by H-1-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Molecular weight of the soluble polymer was determined by GPC. Thermal properties of the polymer film and soluble polymer were studied by DSC. The course of electroinitiated polymerization was monitored by in-situ UV-VIS spectroscopy.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 21Electrochemical Behaviour and Electrochemical Polymerization of Fluoro-Substituted Anilines(Wiley, 2002) Cihaner, A; Önal, AMThe electrochemical behaviour of three fluoro-substituted aniline monomers, 2-fluoroaniline (2FAN), 3-fluoroaniline (3FAN) and 4-fluoroaniline (4FAN), was investigated in aqueous acidic and organic media by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies. Constant potential electrolysis (CPE) of the monomers in acetonitrile-water mixture (1: 1 by volume) using NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte yielded soluble polymers. The mechanism of electrochemical polymerization was investigated using in situ electron spin resonance (ESR) and in situ UV-VIS spectroscopic techniques for one of the monomers (4FAN). Both CV and in situ LTV-VIS measurements indicated that the polymers obtained are in the emeraldine base form. In situ ESR studies indicated that electrochemical polymerization involves a radical-cation as an intermediate. Characterization of polymer products have been carried out using FTIR and NMR spectroscopic techniques, and thermal behaviour was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that conductivity can be imparted to assynthesized polyfluoroanilines via iodine doping.

Chemical polymerization was carried out using FeCl3 as oxidizing agent. It is found that both methods gave the same polymer product without any cleavage of the polyether bridge between thiophene (Th) rings. Although as synthesized polymers exhibited no conductivity, they gain conductivity via chemical doping using 12 vapor exposure. The polymers were characterized using FTIR spectroscopic technique and 12 doping was monitored using in-situ electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Thermal behavior of electrochemically prepared polymer was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, DSC and thermogravimetric analysis, TGA. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
