Abstract
Conducting polymers has been polymerized on a bottom of the vessel/cell under certain conditions, and the patterns of two-dimensional (2-D) conducting polymer have become fractal. A neuron-like conducting polymer can be fabricated by changing the polymerization conditions under polymerization. The pattern of conducting polymer network depends on the polymerization/environment conditions. The conducting polymer has many functional properties. If conductivity at paths in the network depends on signals that flow the paths, a neuron-like device can be prepared. In this process, it is hard to control the transition of the polymerized points from the surface of the electrode to the vessel. The pattern depends on the time of transition because the concentrations of monomer and electrolyte decrease with time. In some conditions, transition never occurs. In this paper, the initiation conditions of neuron-type conducting polymer have been investigated. It is found that concentrations of oligomer/polymer that did not attach myself to the electrode is the important factor for the transition of polymerized points from on the electrode to on the surface of the vessel.
