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.

Bond length alternation in cyclic polyenes. V: Local finite-order perturbation theory approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of bond length alternation in linear extended systems with conjugated double bonds is examined on a simple cyclic polyene model using finite-order many-body perturbation theory.

Synthesis of polyaniline/titanium dioxide nanocomposite (PAni/TiO2) and its application as photocatalyst in acrylic pseudo paint for benzene removal under UV/VIS lights

TL;DR: In this paper, polyaniline/titanium dioxide nanocomposite (PAni/TiO2) was synthesized by in situ oxidative polymerization, which was carried out in dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) micellar solution that acted as both dopant and surfactant.
