N2 - The results of a study of poly(3-octylthiophene) films with the aid of an electrochemical quartz microbalance are presented. The effect of the nature of the electrolyte anion on the determined weights of mobile species that are transported through the film/electrolyte interface is discussed. The obtained results point to a substantial role played by the solvent transport in the course of the electrode reaction. The results concerning the influence exerted by the electrode material on the observed regularities are presented.
