Abstract:
Conducting polymer named polythiophene has a poor processability due to its
insolubility and infusibility. These properties limit their potential in industry and
technology. Therefore polythiophene is suggested to be synthesized in the presence of
anionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulphates, SDS. Anionic surfactants is believed to
be able to improve contact between polar and non-polar media. Therefore it is added
to improve the solubility and processability of polythiophene.
