Abstract

PEDOT (poly-3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) is one of the most attractive polythiophene derivatives and has been studied intensively for last decades in many research areas as conductive polymer [1]. In this study, PEDOT was used to modify natural chitosan biopolymer using RF EDOT plasma produced at low pressure (0.02 Torr) with 13.56 MHz frequency at a power of 50W for 24h.
