Abstract
Electrically conductive polythiophenecarbonyl polymer networks are provided comprising conjugated crosslinks between polythiophenecarbonyl polymer segments of the network. The network can be formed by crosslinking carbonyl functional polythiophenecarbonyl polymers, such as by self-crosslinking condensation reaction or crosslinking condensation reaction with conjugated diylide and/or conjugated polyamine. The carbonyl functional polythiophenecarbonyl polymers can be prepared by polymerization, such as by electropolymerization of carbonyl functional thiophene monomers (the carbonyl functionality generally being protected during polymerization) and, optionally, suitable conjugated copolymerization monomers such as thiophene, pyrrole and/or carbonyl functional pyrrole.
