In this study, doped homopolymers of thiophene were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization. The polymerization was carried out inside a mesoporous material of the MCM-41 type avoiding the polymer instability after the doping. The polymer was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and the conductivity of the doped polymer was determined.
