Show affiliationsThe electric current during the electrophoretic deposition of a conjugated polymer based on polyfluorene has been studied. Thin slab vessels provide a simple path for the colloidal particles during deposition as well as minimum suspension consumption, and the transient currents during the electrophoretic deposition from a suspension containing 1.0 g l−1 of the polymer in those vessels reveal clear breaks corresponding to the transit time. The electrophoretic mobility of the colloidal particles in the suspension has been estimated to be 7.0 ± 0.6 × 10−5 cm2 V−1 s−1. The deposition of a uniform film of the polymer over a 9 cm-square utilizing the thin slab vessel has also been demonstrated.
