The electropolymerization of thiophene on oxidizable metals (Fe, Zn, Al) has been investigated in different organic media (acidic, neutral or basic) with a view to obtaining adherent and homogeneous polythiophene (PT) films. In propylene carbonate (PC), considered as a neutral medium (DN = 15) and a...
