When it comes to developing resilient battery materials, engineers much look to innovations in metal chemistries and ...

SUTD researchers 3D print biodegradable conductive electronics using direct ink writing and cellulose acetate dissolved in acetone.

The improvement on electrical properties of doped PANI reflecting the conditions of preparation/dopant incorporation is of fundamental importance. In comparison with metal oxides, acid doped ...

This study investigated the electrical properties of polyaniline nanofiber with molarity dopant variation. The electrical property observed on the polyaniline nanofiber was carried out by using High ...

Their dopant choice depended on whether they were creating an n-type semiconductor, which is flush with electrons for conductivity, or a p-type semiconductor, which is loaded with positive charges.

Conducting polymer hydrogels emerge as a novel class of polymeric materials that show great potential in many energy, environmental, and biomedical devices. We describe here for the first time a ...

"We showed that the low conductivity of conventional IDT results from their non-polar side chains, which cause the dopant to be located between the polymer chains (backbone) instead of at the side ...

Scientists from Fudan University in China have provided new insights into semiconducting polymer thermoelectric materials by leveraging chemical doping and molecular structure modification strategies.

“Having conjugated bonds throughout the polymer makes it conductive, because the delocalized electrons have high mobility across the length of the polymer,” explains lead author Tung Nguyen ...

Researchers have synthesized electrically conductive polyaniline polymer in common organic solvents. A small quantity of added iodine facilitates the radical chain reaction that is critical to ...
