摘要: The multiple shear thinning behaviour observed in dispersions of the conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), water during drying process is explored. PEDOT:PSS can be non-stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) with free polyanion (PSS) chains resulting scrambled egg conformations. They also behave as charged colloidal particles. PECs and systems analyzed using rheology TEM, zeta potential, conductivity, pH, dynamic light scattering (DLS) rheo-small angle (rheo-SALS) information. rheological found to have significant contributions from conformational changes PEC due charge density fluctuations affecting electrostatic persistence length, le. A low concentration regime a high single were observed. behavior further explored by neutralizing salts.
