Conductive Polymers and Carbon Materials

Single-walled carbon nanotube networks in conductive composite materials.

Electrically conductive composite materials can be used for a wide range of applications because they combine the advantages of a specific polymeric material (e.g., thermal and mechanical properties) with the electrical properties of conductive filler particles. However, the overall electrical behaviour of these composite materials is usually much below the potential of the conductive fillers, ...

DFT studies of all fluorothiophenes and their radical cations as candidate monomers for conductive polymers

In this paper, electronic, structural, and spectroscopic properties of mono-, di-, tri-, andtetrafluorothiophenes and their radical cations are studied using the density functional theory andB3LYP method with 6-311++G** basis set. Also the effects of the number and position of thesubstituent on the electrochemical properties of the thiophene ring have been studied usingoptimized structures obta...
