Growth behavior of poly(o-toluidine-co-p-fluoroaniline) deposition by cyclic voltammetry

Electrochemical copolymerization of o-toluidine (OT) with p-fluoroaniline (FA) was carried out in 1 M HCl by cyclic voltammetry. Polymeric films were deposited by employing different conditions such as cycle number and feed-ratio of comonomers. Electrochemical homopolymerization of OT and FA were also done. A growth equation for copolymer deposition relating the parameters of operation and charge associated for film deposition was obtained. Growth rate constant was determined.
