Copolymers—A refined way to tailor intrinsically conducting polymers

An overview is given on electrochemically prepared intrinsically conducting copolymers, their preparation, their properties, potential applications and significant differences from the respective homopolymers. Particular attention is paid to verification of the formation of true copolymers and their characteristic features in comparison to mixtures of homopolymers.
