Physics and Chemistry of Conductive Polymers

摘要: In 2000, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to researchers Alan J. Heeger, G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa for discovery development of conductive polymers, original work going back late nineteen seventies. Polymers are normally known as electrically insulating materials. However, certain polymeric structures possess a special electronic configuration which renders materials conductive. From polymers arose new area research engineering: field organic electronics. Today, several types polymer known, develops rapidly. present chapter, an overview on physical chemical properties this exciting class is given. Fundamentals enabling conduction electricity by summarized, brief different given, selected with relevance applications electronics discussed.
