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

Stability studies of the electrical conductivity of various poly(3-alkylthiophenes)
Yading Wang,Michael F. Rubner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs) was examined under systematically controlled environmental and thermal conditions, and it was found that the stability increases as the length of the alkyl sidegroup decreases.

Electrochemical preparation of conducting poly(3-methylthiophene): comparison with polythiophene and poly(3-ethylthiophene)
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal conditions for the electrochemical polymerization of poly(3-methylthiophene) were studied and the effects of preparation conditions were also examined using this solvent and electrolyte.

Polyacetylenes with substituents: Their synthesis and properties
TL;DR: A review of the synthesis, characterization, and function of polyacetylenes with substituents can be found in this article, where the main features are as follows: a number of catalysts based on group 5 and 6 transition metals (Nb, Ta, Mo, W) have been exploited which polymerize substituted acetylenes, especially sterically crowded ones.
