The kinetics of doping with I of polyacetylene films, synthesized by the H. Shirakawa technique (Ito, T. S.; Ikeda, S., 1974) was studied by measuring the variation of elec. cond. and IR absorbance at 1400, 1023, and 750 cm-1 within the 1st min of doping. The doping process occurs within ≥3 steps whose rate consts. differ by orders of magnitude. An attempt was made to elaborate a kinetic model for the doping process, and the activation energies are calcd
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
