Abstract

The electrochemical polymerization of adipic acid via the Kolbe synthesis was investigated in various solvent systems. High melting insoluble polymers were obtained; they contained, besides the hydrocarbon chains obtained from the free radical Kolbe mechanism {A figure is presented} ester groups obtained through the cationic mechanism {A figure is presented} Polymer yield, as well as ester group content, increased on passing from methanol to methanol-pyridine (1:4). The structure of the polymers is discussed.
