Conducting Polymers and their Applications
Current Physical Chemistrye, 2012
This review article focuses on conducting polymers and their applications. Conducting polymers (CPs) are an exciting new class of electronic materials, which have attracted an increasing interest since their discovery in 1977. They have many advantages, as compared to the non-conducting polymers, which is primarily due to their electronic and optic properties. Also, they have been used in artificial muscles, fabrication of electronic device, solar energy conversion, rechargeable batteries, and sensors. This study comprises two main parts of investigation. The first focuses conducting polymers (polythiophene, polyparaphenylene vinylene, polycarbazole, polyaniline, and polypyrrole). The second regards their applications, such as Supercapacitors, Light emitting diodes (LEDs), Solar cells, Field effect transistor (FET), and Biosensors. Both parts have been concluded and summarized with recent reviewed 233 references.
Conducting Polymers: Concepts and Applications
Journal of Atomic, Molecular, Condensate and Nano Physics, 2018
The developments in the field of electrically conducting polymers have grown very rapidly since the discovery and there is a very sharp increase in conductivity when intrinsically insulating organic conjugated polymers are doped with oxidizing and reducing agents. An overview of technological developments involving conducting polymers clearly indicates that the field expands at unprecedented rates. The manuscript first introduces the conducting polymers (CPs), conducting mechanism, concepts of doping and briefly introduces main applications. Different types of CPs, their unique properties and synthesis is discussed. The present review will help the effective implementation of conducting polymers in different fields, which directly depends on the degree of understanding of their behaviour and properties.
Physico-chemical factors conditioning the electronic conduction of conductive polymers
2021
The driving idea and the main objective of this synthetic work is the study of physicochemical factors such as the dielectric constant of the solvent, the polarizability of the chains and the Gap energy of the conductive polymers, these characteristics condition their properties. electrical and electrochemical. We focused our study on polyaniline, two synthetic methods are presented: chemical polymerization and electropolymerization with emphasis on the theoretical aspects of the phenomena involved as well as on the electrochemical methods used such as cyclic voltammetry. We have therefore developed with maximum clarity the links existing between the physico-chemical properties of polyaniline and its electrical conductivity.
Electrical properties of polymers
2005
Fully revised and expanded, this new edition of Anthony Blythe's successful title on electrical properties of polymers covers both the fundamental and recent developments in this growing area. The book provides a broad and comprehensive account of the topic, describing underlying physical principles and synthesis through to emerging technologies. The second edition places particular emphasis on the new generation of conductive polymers, describing emerging uses of polymers in industrial applications and covering topics such as light emitting diodes, flexible polymers and soft electronics.
ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS (1)
The processability and film-forming properties of the conjugated polymers are crucial for the fabrication of high-performance photoluminescence emitting diodes (PLEDs) and polymer solar cells (PSCs). However, conjugated polymers of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV), polytheiophene (PT), polypropylene (PPP), etc. without substituted side chains are insoluble and infusible, which limits their application.
We investigated the effect of an electric field on the alignment and structural properties of thin films of a chiral polybithiophene-based conductive polymer, functionalized with a protected L-cysteine amino acid. Thin films were obtained by exploiting both drop-casting and spin-coating procedures. The electric properties, the polarized Raman spectrum, the UV−vis spectrum, and the CD spectra were measured as a function of the electric field intensity applied during film formation. It was found that beyond the enhancement of the conductivity observed when the electric field aligns the polymer, the electric field significantly affects the chiral properties and the effect depends on the method of deposition.
Advances in conductive polymers
European Polymer Journal, 1998
AbstractÐConductive polymers are a new class of materials which exhibit highly reversible redox behaviour and the unusual combination of properties of metal and plastics. The prospective utility of conductive polymers with a potent application in number of growing technologies in biomolecular electronics, telecommunication, display devices and electrochemical storage systems, etc. has further enhanced the interest of researchers in this novel area. An eort has been made in this article to present an updated review on the various aspects of conductive polymers, viz. synthesis of conductive polymers, doping, structure analysis and proposed utility for further study of the future scienti®c and technological developments in the ®eld of conductive polymers. #
