Introduction to Electronic, Optical, and Transport Properties of Conducting Polymers and Fullerene-Polymer Composites

  • Chapter
Fullerene Polymers and Fullerene Polymer Composites

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 38))

Abstract

Conducting polymers are a remarkable new class of organic materials with potential applications such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), thin film transistors, solid state batteries and optical switches. Serious investigations into conducting polymers were spurred by the discovery in 1977 that polyacetylene (CH) x could be chemically doped to 1000 S/cm at room temperature [1, 2]. Subsequent improvements in polymerization methods raised this value to 145 000 S/cm [3–6]. These materials have a highly anisotropic quasi-one-dimensional electronic structure which is fundamentally different from conventional inorganic semiconductors. The chain-like structure makes conducting polymers susceptible to strong coupling of the electronic states to conformational distortions leading to excitations peculiar to the 1D system. In addition, the relatively weak interchain binding allows diffusion of dopant molecules into the structure, while strong carbon—carbon intrachain binding maintains the integrity of the polymer.
