Mathematical Modelling of Transport through Conducting Polymer Films. 1. The Poly(paraphenylene) System

Abstract

Modeling studies concerning charge transport through organically conductive polymer systems have focussed principally on poly(acetylene) (PA) and poly (pyrrole) (PP) with charge transport presumed to occur via polarons, bipolarons, or charged solitons, depending on the system. Apart from theoretical studies on organic conducting polymers, a significant amount of theoretical work has been done in efforts to explain transport phenomena in electrodes modified with inorganic conducting systems such as poly(vinylferrocene) (PVC) and other transition metal-containing polymers. To date these theoretical models have been for the most part quantum mechanical in nature, with transport presumed to occur via an electron hopping mechanism.
