EDT-methanol can functionalize poly(L-lactic acid) by using organometallic polymerization which can be used to form biodegradable and conducting macromonomers for biomedical applications.[5]It can be polymerized to form poly(hydroxymethyl EDOT) based films which may be incorporated with silver nanoparticles to form nanocomposites on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for flexible plastic devices.

Hydroxymethyl EDOT (EDT-methanol) is a conjugated polymer that is used as a precursor of ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT). The hydroxymethyl groups in the EDOT monomers enhance the electro-polymerization in an aqueous solution to form an electro-active hydrophilic polymer.
