Abstract

Conducting polymer hydrogels with unusual 2D building blocks were synthesized in one step via a combination of oxidative coupling polymerization and non-covalent crosslinking of an amphiphilic thiophene derivative. Chemicals with standard electrode potentials higher than 0.8 V triggered disbanding of the resulting conducting polymer hydrogels, indicating the occurrence of potential-dependent gel–sol transitions.
