Conduction in Polydiacetylene Bilayers.
Abstract
Diacetylene monolayers polymerized at the gas water interface have a very poor conductivity. They do however exhibit a photoconductive and doping effect which can raise the conductivity over three orders of magnitude. Because of the initially low conductivity, the polydiacetylene monolayers could at best only be considered a poor semiconductor after doping. The possibility still remains that more exotic dopants such as AsF5 that are successfully applied to other conjugated polymers may result in higher conductivities in polydiacetylene monolayers.
