ELECTRONIC CONDUCTION IN SOME POLYMERIC SYSTEMS,

Abstract

The main features of electronic conduction in or ganic substances were reviewed. Experiments were made to characterize semiconductivity in powdered polyacenes and in amorphous polyphenylacetylene. The influence of various factors such as the num ber of fused rings per monomeric unit, the intro duction of monomers with carbonyl groups, and the introduction of heteroaromatic monomers was stud ied. Spin concentration and mobilities of some typical samples were measured. The classical band theory was reviewed to determine its appli cability to organic polymers. Some new ideas on the theory of polymer conduction were developed. (Author)
