Journal ArticleDOI

15N NMR of polyaniline

TL;DR: In this article, the leuco and emeraldine base forms of polyaniline were investigated using 15 N NMR spectroscopy and it was shown that emeraldines exist as an alternating copolymer of oxidized and reduced units.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Metallic State of Conducting Polymers: Microwave Dielectric Response and Optical Conductivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature (T) dependent microwave frequency dielectric constant, dc conductivity, and Kramers-Kronig analysis of conducting polyaniline and polyacetylene were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport and optical properties of polythiazyl bromides: (SNBr0.4)x

TL;DR: The average room temperature conductivity of (SNBr0.4)x is 3.8 × 104 (ω-cm)-1 with temperature dependence characteristics of metallic behavior as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aggregation and molecular conformation of doped polyaniline in chloroform solution

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that both the freshly-made and aged chloroform solutions are comprised of doped polyaniline, the former containing aggregates (due to H-bonding) of single molecules having larger hydrodynamic volumes than the polyaniniline comprising the major peak.
Journal ArticleDOI

‘Organic metals’. New classes of p-type dopants for converting polyacetylene, (CH)x into the ‘metallic’ state

TL;DR: In this article, two new classes of dopants are introduced to give golden, flexible polyacetylene films exhibiting high conductivities characteristic of the metallic state, i.e., poly(CH)x.
