| | Conductive Polymers | £250.00 | | Rapra Polymer Bulletin |  | | This Polymer Bulletin is a current awareness service from the Polymer Library, the world's largest database dedicated to polymer literature. Each time the abstracts database is updated with new records (approx. every two weeks) you will be sent a bulletin alerting you to any items that relate to conductive polymers. Please see the sample issue below (request further samples)
Conductive Polymers (i.e. those which have significant conductivity) were first developed around 30 years ago, but it is only recently that their commercial viability has been recognised, highlighted by the fact that the conductive ‘iodine-doped Polyacetylene’ was developed in 1977, but not until 2000 was the Nobel prize awarded for it. The number of end-use applications has risen sharply in recent years due to the trend of miniaturisation and increased uses in the automotive industry through electrostatic paint application. The potential for use in anti-static packaging at low costs is also being explored. A June 2004 market report published by Freedonia confidently predicts that this large market will continue to grow steadily.
A Current Awareness service from Rapra may be just what you need to update your knowledge with ease and accuracy without having to waste time, effort and money finding the information yourself.

MODIFICATION OF CONDUCTING POLYMER THIN FILMS BY SELF-ASSEMBLED TRANSITION METAL SURFACES.
Martin J J; Hira S M; Ochanda F; Gaffney J P; Sarno D M; Jones W E
Binghamton,University
A method was developed for tuning the conductivity of conducting polymers by chemically modifying the substrate with transition metal complexes (mainly ruthenium compounds). The polymers studied were polyaniline, polyethylene dioxythiophene and polypyrrole, thin films of which were prepared using the in-situ polymerisation technique. Conductivity enhancements of nearly two orders of magnitude were observed. 17 refs.

NEW VERSATILE AND THERMALLY STABLE POLY(ARYLENE ETHER).
Bouguettaya M; Basheer R A
Delphi Corp.
A soluble polyarylene ether high temperature polymer containing terphenyl and octafluorobiphenylene units was synthesised and converted into an ionically conductive polymer by sulphonation. Some of the basic physical properties of the sulphonated and non-sulphonated materials were evaluated, including Tg, thermal stability and char yield. 6 refs.

ELECTROSYNTHESES OF FREESTANDING POLY (3-(4-FLUOROPHENYL)THIOPHENE) FILMS IN BORON TRIFLUORIDE DIETHYL ETHERATE.
Liang Shen; Jingkun Xu; Zhenhong Wei; Qiang Xiao; Shouzhi Pu (Jiangxi Science & Technology Normal University)
3-(4-Fluorophenyl)thiophenes were electrochemically polymerised by anodic oxidation in a one-compartment cell to give high-quality films. The working and counter electrodes were platinum wire and stainless steel, respectively, but the platinum wire was replaced by a second stainless steel sheet when large polymer growths were required. The electrolyte was pure boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The films were peeled from the electrode to give freestanding films which were dedoped with 25% ammonia. They were flexible and could be cut to shape with a knife or scissors and were characterised by FTIR, Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, TGA and differential TGA. BFEE reduced the oxidation potential of the monomer and improved the mechanical properties of the product. The conjugation length of the polymer, deduced from UV-vis spectra, was lower than that of polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene). Thermal degradation occurred smoothly, the rate increasing with temperature and maximising at 865 K. The conductivity of the as-formed films was 0.1 S/cm, much lower than other polythiophenes, due to the smaller conjugation length. Copolymerisation with other thiophenes may improve the conductivity. 41 refs.

Wang L; Wang Y-W; Chu C-C
Taiwan,National University
Details are given of the synthesis of water-soluble star-like polystyrenesulphonate by atom transfer radical polymerisation. The use of the polymer as a template for preparing water-dispersible conducting polymer complexes was investigated. Characterisation was undertaken using GPC and proton NMR. 6 refs.

Ankara,Middle East Technical University
Details are given of the preparation of flexible and foldable conducting polymer composites of polypyrrole and PDMS by constant potential electrochemical synthesis. PDMS was chosen as an insulating host matrix due to its flexibility, solubility and thermal resistance. The effect of PDMS on electrical, mechanical and morphological properties of polypyrrole was also investigated. 16 refs.

DAINICHISEIKA DEVELOPS CONDUCTIVE POLYMER UTILIZING CARBONNANOTUBES.
Using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) developed by Nikkiso, Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals has developed a styrenic nanocomposite material that shows sufficient conductivity despite its CNT content being less than 1%. A wide range of applications is anticipated, such as antistatic trays and carriers for transporting electronic components. The company will explore special market areas that require an ultra-low generation of dust particles. It aims to achieve sales amounting to more than Yen100m by 2008, it is briefly reported.

PROTON CONDUCTING POLYSULFONE IONOMERS CARRYING SULFOARYLOXYBENZOYL SIDE CHAINS.
Lafitte B; Puchner M; Jannasch P (Lund,University)
The preparation of novel proton conducting ionomers by attaching pendant sulphonated aromatic side chains to polysulphone is reported. The degree of substitution can be effectively controlled by the degree of lithiation in the first step of the synthesis as the second step proceeds with full conversion. This, in combination with the wide range of nucleophiles available for the second reaction step makes the method a versatile approach to the design of new ionomers. 21 refs.
