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.read more

Some aspects of preparation methods and properties of polyaniline blends and composites with organic polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, generalized approaches for the preparation of polyaniline materials are reviewed, focusing on features that determine properties of the final composites/blends, and two distinct groups of synthetic methods based on aniline polymerization either (1) in the presence of or inside a matrix polymer or (2) the blending of a previously prepared PANI with a matrix polymers.
