DURIP Electrochemistry-Surface Spectroscopy Instrument

Abstract

This is the final report for the DURIP grant 'DURIP Electrochemistry- Surface Spectroscopy Instrument'. The funds obtained via DURIP grant were used to purchase a research-quality Fourier-transforms infrared spectrometer. This FTIR was used to investigate preferential orientation of polymer chains within ultranarrow electronically conductive polymer fibers. This investigations have shown that the polymer chains are preferentially oriented parallel to the fiber axis. This helps explain the enhanced electronic conductivities observed in some of these ultranarrow conductive polymer fibers. Fourier-transforms infrared spectrometer (FTIR), Polymer chains, Electronically conductive polymer fibers, Nuclear instrumentation, Atomic and molecular physics.
