Effects of molecular weight on the optical and electrochemical properties of EDOT-based π-conjugated polymers Shotaro Hayashi, Shin-ichi Yamamoto & Toshio Koizumi Absolute molecular weight values obtained by gel permeation chromatography with multi angle light scattering of PEDOTF8 were approximately 65% of the relative molecular weight values obtained by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene standards. Both light absorption and molecular weight measurements showed the effective conjugation lengths (absolute molecular weight
