Advances in sensors based on conducting polymers

Conducting polymers with a blend of interesting optical and mechanical properties can be used in situations where inorganic materials are not suitable. Synthetic capabilities as well as fabrication techniques have been developed to such an extent that molecular electronic devices based on conducting polymers can be designed, marking evolution of a sophisticated technology in the field of microe...

Solitonic States in Organic Conducting Polymers

In a typical solitonic distribution, the soliton density is distributed over the entire moleculeand the present work shows how its density can be decomposed into solitonic and antisolitoniccomponents. It is found that there exists a unique electron as soliton over the anionicnanoconductor, while there are many other solitons and antisolitons. The solitonic states are furtherdecomposed to the ca...

Conducting Polymers

In general, conducting polymers include electronically conducting polymers and ionically conducting polymers. Ionically conducting polymers are usually called polymer electrolytes. Electronically conducting polymers can also include conjugated conducting polymers and the insulating polymers blending with conducting materials. In this chapter, the conducting polymers are limited to conjugated co...
