In recent years, great focus has been placed upon polymer thin films. These polymer thin films are important in many technological applications, ranging from coatings and adhesives to organic electronic devices, including sensors and detectors. Polymers can be prepared using chemical and/or electrochemical methods of polymerization. There are a few advantages of electrosynthesis over chemical methods. These include, but are not limited to: the wide range of oxidation and reduction reactions possible, the possibility of reaching very high levels of product purity and selectivity, and significantly less energy requirement. The process of electropolymerization leads to simple and reproducible formations of polymer films, which led to a broad material diversity.
