Abstract

Recent developments on bipolar electrochemistry as an effective tool for the fabrication of gradient polymer surfaces were reviewed. The electrochemical doping and reactions of conducting polymers under an applied potential distribution using bipolar electrodes have been carried out to prepare conducting polymers with composition gradients. Indirect electrolysis using an electrogenerated metal catalyst on bipolar electrodes successfully afforded gradually modified polymer surfaces and gradient polymer brushes. The newly designed cylinder bipolar electrode system is available for site-selective applications of electric potentials, which produced electrochemical patterning of conducting polymer films.
