Abstract

Poly (3,4-(2-methylene)propylenedioxythiophene) (PMProDot) nanotubes were synthesized within the pores of polycarbonate and were further modified with styrene and vinylcarbazole by a one step electrochemical method through the methylene functional group. The enhanced electrochemical and electrochromic properties of composite nanotubes were investigated using FTIR, UV/Vis absorbance spectroscopy, and AFM.
