A study on the polymerization of polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) and the carbonization process of a separator was carred out in order to apply conductive polymer PEDOT to the winding typed aluminum condenser as a solid electrolyte and a negative electrode. PEDOT was polymerized with ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as a monomer and ferric-p-toluenesulfonate as an oxidizing agent. The separator of condenser element was carbonized to control its fibrous tissue for the purpose of making it easy to impregnate the PEDOT solution into the microporous etched pit of aluminum foil by preventing separator from concentrating the PEDOT solution on itself. The characteristics of condenser such as capacitance, dissipation factor, equivalent series resistance, and thermal resistance depended on a carbonization temperature and a carbonization time. It was found that a thickness and a density of the used separator were major parameters of carbonization process and the characteristics of condenser were affected by these parameters.

A method for designing antireflection (AR) and antistatic (AS) films by the use of conducting polymer as an electrically conductive transparent layer is proposed. The conducting AR film is composed of four-layer with alternating high and low refractive index layer: silicon dioxide (n=1.44) and titanium dioxide (n=2.02) prepared at low temperature by sol-gel method are used as the low and high refractive index layer, respectively. The 3,4-polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) which has the sheet resistance of 10$^4$$\Omega$/$\square$ is used as a conductive layer. Optical constant of ARAS film was measured by the spectroscopic ellipsometer and from the measured optical constants the spectral properties such as reflectance and transmittance were simulated in the visible region. The reflectance of ARAS films on glass substrate was below 0.8 %R and the transmittance was higher than 95 % in the visible wavelength (400-700 nm). The measured AR spectral properties was very similar to its simulated results.
