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

Preparation and Characterization of PEDOT/β-Fe3+O(OH,Cl) Nanospindles with Controllable Sizes in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: By using FeCl3·6H2O as an oxidant, a novel organic/inorganic complex nanostructure, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/β-akaganeite (PEDOT/β-Fe3+O(OH,Cl)) nanospindle, was successfully synthesized in aqueous solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA).
