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.

AB2 Y-shaped miktoarm star conductive polyaniline-modified poly(ethylene glycol) and its electrospun nanofiber blend with poly(ε-caprolactone)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the synthesis and characterization of novel type AB2 Y-shaped miktoarm star conductive polyaniline-modified poly(ethylene glycol) [PEG-b-(PANI)2], and preparation of its electrospun nanofiber blend with poly(e-caprolactone), and the chemical structures of all samples as representatives were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies.
