Intrinsically Conducting Polymers: An Emerging Technology

A discussion of various strategies for the intrazeolite encapsulation of polymer filaments is given. Two examples are discussed in more detail: Poly(2-ethylaniline) and pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile in zeolite hosts. Poly(2-ethylaniline) chains were synthesized within the three-dimensional channels of dehydrated zeolites X and Y via oxidation of the intrazeolite monomers with aqueous (NH4)2S20s. ...

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...
