Electronic and Ionic Transport in Processable Conducting Polymers
Abstract
A full series of alkyl and aryl sulfonated aramid and imidazole polymers with a range of ion contents have been synthesized and studied. Ion transport and ion binding in a polypyrrole-poly(pyrrolepropane sulfonate) copolymer has been examined. Studies of the high catalytic activity of polypyrrole-platinum nanocomposites have continued. Studies of band structure and low band-gap polyheterocycles using our recently developed Modified Extended Hueckel method have also continued, as has the synthesis of new polythiophene derivatives containing ester side chains. Water soluble aramid and imidazole polymers, ion transport, ion binding, polypyrrole/platinum nanocomposites, band calculations, polythiophenes.
