Electrochemical and computational studies of electrically conducting polymer coatings

A summary of the practical and theoretical (molecular modelling) aspects of conducting polymer research led by the late Dr Sheelagh Campbell at the University of Portsmouth is presented. The wide-range of interest encompasses tailored monomer design, density functional theory calculations, electrodeposition on various substrates, and investigations of polypyrrole as a corrosion inhibitor and as a matrix for release of therapeutic agents.
