Fabrication of novel electrically conductive Langmuir-Blodgett thin films of the poly(3-alkylthiophenes)

Hierarchical porous polyaniline–silsesquioxane conjugated hybrids with enhanced electrochemical capacitance

“…The current intensity of PANI-SQ3 is higher than that of PANI-SQ1 in the strongly acidic solution, which is different from that in the 1 M H 2 SO 4 perhaps because PANI-SQ3 exhibits better electrical properties in a strong oxidizing solution. 47,48 Fig. 12a shows the galvanostatic charge-discharge curves within the potential window 0 to 0.8 V vs. SCE for the pure PANI and PANI-SQ conjugates by chronopotentiometry (CP) measurements.…”

Polymer monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett films. Polythiophenes

“…There are many more studies of mixed monolayers and LB films containing polythiophenes than of those dealing with monolayers of oligothiophenes and films of individual compounds. It is believed 60 that pure poly(3-alkylthiophenes) are unsuitable for obtaining organised ensembles for at least two reasons. First, they do not form true monolayers; when they spread over the surface of water, they form islets visible by naked eye.…”

Antistatic Polymer Layers Applied from Aqueous Compositions to Photographic Materials

“…Soluble polyanilines (31 -34), polythiophenes (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44) and polypyrroles (44) have been synthesised by introducing different types of side chains. However, the level of conductivity achieved after substitution is usually some orders of magnitude lower than that of the original, unsubstituted polymer.…”
