Abstract
In this paper, electrochemical polymerization of phenol in mesityl oxide on platinum and glassy carbon electrodes by voltammetric oxidation is discussed. The electrochemically formed phenoxyl radicals initiated the polymerization of solvent molecules. In mesityl oxide without any added phenol there was no significant film formation but glassy carbon electrode deactivated. On platinum electrode, a polymer layer with high porosity could be obtained in solution of phenol prepared with mesityl oxide. On glassy carbon electrode, the electrodeposition resulted in a compact polymer. The micro-Raman investigations demonstrated the presence of units of mesityl oxide in the formed film.
