ABSTRACT

This review aimed to provide a trend and evolution on the methods of conducting terpolymer synthesis and its applications for the first time in the open literature. Lots of attention was on homopolymer and copolymer in the onset of research on conducting polymers, but quest for improved optical, electrochemical, and conductive properties borne research in conducting terpolymerization. It comes with advantages of mass production of the polymeric film but has its limitation in film thickness control and its low conductivity. Lately, conducting polymer synthesis research over the years has evolved and electrochemical methods have been the favorite method of synthesis as it offers improved properties for the polymeric film. Terpolymers, over the years have been applied for various applications in electrochemical bio-sensing, corrosion inhibitors and polymeric solar cells. However, there is still need for enlarge scope of terpolymer synthesis to involve polymerization of carboxylic acid monomers, incorporation of biopolymers, as most reported conducting terpolymers over the years have been largely based on aniline and its hybrid monomers. Also, it is recommended that pursuit of conducting terpolymers as a nonenzymatic electrochemical and biosensors should be intensified and given increased attention.

摘要

这篇综述旨在公开进行三元共聚物合成方法及其应用方面的趋势和发展。在进行导电聚合物的研究之初，人们对均聚物和共聚物的关注度很高，但是对进行改进的光学，电化学和导电性能的追求却在进行三元聚合方面进行了研究。它具有大量生产聚合物膜的优点，但是在膜厚度控制和其低电导率方面具有局限性。最近，进行了多年的聚合物合成研究，电化学方法已成为最受欢迎的合成方法，因为它为聚合物薄膜提供了改进的性能。多年来，三元共聚物已用于电化学生物传感的各种应用中，腐蚀抑制剂和聚合物太阳能电池。然而，仍然需要扩大三元共聚物的合成范围以涉及羧酸单体的聚合，生物聚合物的掺入，因为多年来大多数报道的导电三元共聚物主要是基于苯胺及其杂化单体。另外，建议应加强对导电三元共聚物作为非酶电化学和生物传感器的追求，并给予更多关注。
