Abstract

Electrochemical polymerization of carbazole (Cz), N-Vinylcarbazole (NVCz), and Ethylcarbazole (ECz) in the presence of methyl ethyl ketone formaldehyde resin (MEKF-R) was accomplished by using acetonitrile-NaClO4 solution. The effects of monomer and resin concentration were investigated on the conductivity of the resulting products. Characterization of insoluble free standing films was carried out via FTIR spectrum, cyclic voltammogram, UV visible spectrum, four point probe conductivity measurements, and elemental analyses. The conductivities of the copolymers were in the range of 10 -6-10-4 S/cm. All copolymers obtained electrochemically were insoluble in solvents.
