Synthesis of electrically conducting organic polymers: halogen derivatives of polyacetylene, (CH)x

TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.
Abstract
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans‘polyacetylene’, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give, depending on the extent of halogenation, silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.

Development of an electrochemical sulfite biosensor by immobilization of sulfite oxidase on conducting polyaniline film

TL;DR: In this article, a biosensor was developed for the determination of sulfite, based on electrochemical incorporation of free sulfite oxidase into polyaniline aluminum modified electrode.

Electronic properties of pure and doped polyacetylenes

TL;DR: In this article, it was deduced that the sudden occurrence of high electrical conductivity in polyacetylenes doped with electron donors or acceptors is essentially brought about by the transfer of an electron from the highest occupied band (pi ) or to the lowest unoccupied band ( pi*) of the parent polyacetylene.

Thermoelectric measurements of PEDOT:PSS/expanded graphite composites

TL;DR: The thermoelectric properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)/expanded graphite films were cast as thin films with different expanded graphite contents at room temperature as discussed by the authors.

Ammonia vapor sensing and electrical properties of fibrous multi-walled carbon nanotube/polyaniline nanocomposites prepared in presence of cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide

TL;DR: In this article, Pani@MWCNT nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM and TEM, and showed increased thermal stability in terms of DC electrical conductivity retention with increasing MWCNT content.
