Preparation of polythiophene composite film by in situ polymerization at room temperature and its gas response studies

Investigation on structural and electrical properties of FeCl3 doped polythiophene (PT) blended with micro and nano copper particles by mechanical mixing

“…When applied to the sharp peak equation (1) leads to the average crystallite size of about 45 nm for n-CuPT. The structural ordering of PT was significantly improved on the micro and nano composite.…”

Interaction of SO2 and SO3 on terthiophene (as a model of polythiophene gas sensor): DFT calculations

“…Recently different improvement in the progress of basic conducting polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polythiophene (PT), polypyrrole (PPy) and their derivatives have been done due to their attractive electrical, chemical and physical properties [39,[41][42][43][44][45]. Among them, PT and its derivatives are gorgeous due to their low cost, easy process capability and tunable emission colors [46].…”

Determination of Optical Transmission Loss in Poly (3-Methyl Thiophene) Thin Film Planar Waveguide: Effect of Vapour Chopping

“…Polythiophenes distinguished as promising materials among various classes of conducting polymers, because of their good thermal and chemical stability, as well as of their optical and electronics properties, useful for various device applications such as LED [2], field effect transistors [3], optical waveguides [4], in optoelectronic devices [5], photovoltaic and photoconductive devices and optical modulator devices [6]. Polythiophenes have also been exploited in sensor applications [7]. Due to the poor solubility of this polymer the commercial applications of unsubstantiated polythiophenes are limited [2], also the presence of inert sulphur atom in thiophene increases the oxidation potential which makes the preparation of polythiophene more difficult [7].…”

Alkyl substituted polythiophenes are soluble in most organic solvents, besides alkyl substituents strongly influences the polythiophenes properties.…”
