Abstract

In this communication, we report on a solvent free chemical oxidative polymerization route for the monomers based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophenes wherein the process is applicable to both solid as well as liquid monomers and results in the bulk synthesis of ultra high molecular weight polymers.
