The conformation of conducting polymer chains: Hubbard polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
The conformational and electronic properties of conducting flexible random and self-avoiding polymer chains are under investigation. A Hamiltonian for conjugated flexible polymers is introduced and its physical consequences are presented. One important result is that the electronic degrees of freedom greatly affect the conformational statistics of the walks and vice versa. The electronic degrees of freedom extend the size of the chain. The end-to-end distance behaves as R ∝ L with ν = (d+ 1)/(d+ 2), where d is the spatial dimension.

متن کاملAn aptasensor based on electrosynthesized conducting polymers, Cu2O–carbon dots and biosynthesized gold nanoparticles, for monitoring carcinoembryonic antigen
Current work proposes an inimitable composite, with great electrical conductivity and quite enhanced surface area, (including conducting polymers (poly (cathechol)), Cu2O–carbon dots and green synthesized gold nanoparticles) for detecting acute carcinoembryonic antigen. At current work, the electropolymerization was offered instead of enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of poly (catechol). <b...
متن کاملConjugated polymers as molecular materials: how chain conformation and film morphology influence energy transfer and interchain interactions.
The electronic structure of conjugated polymers is of current interest because of the wide range of potential applications for such materials in optoelectronic devices. It is increasingly clear that the electronic properties of conjugated polymers depend sensitively on the physical conformation of the polymer chains and the way the chains pack together in films. This article reviews the evidenc...
متن کاملQuartz crystal microbalance studies on conformational change of polymer chains at interface.
The conformation of polymers at interface profoundly influences the interfacial properties. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) is a newly developed technique to detect polymer behavior at interface in real time. In this article, we mainly review our QCM-D studies. Our focus is on temperature induced collapse and swelling of tethered polymer chains, pancake-to-brush transition ...
