The formation of a nanostructured interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) via electropolymerization is described. The electro-copolymerization of alternate layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled polyelectrolytes with thiophene and carbazole pendant monomers was demonstrated facilitating IPN formation of...
