AB  - In this contest, a novel series of random thiophene-indole (Th-In) conducting 
      copolymers have been synthesized through oxidative copolymerization of their 
      monomers in aqueous medium at room temperature using anhydrous ferric chloride 
      (FeCl(3)) as an oxidant. The structure of as-studied samples have been confirmed 
      through X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Field emission-scanning electron 
      microscopy (FE-SEM) ensured the morphology of as-prepared copolymers. The complex 
      optical parameters of the samples have been estimated through ultraviolet-visible 
      (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of dc electrical conductivity 
      of the samples have been obtained over a temperature range 303-393 K, which found 
      to be in the range 10(-6)-10(-4) Scm(-1) followed Arrhenius relation. The 
      degradation behaviour has been studied through thermogravimetry (TG) and 
      differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques.
