Fr. Diaz et al., POLY(P-PHENYLENE-DISELENOCARBONATE) AND POLY(P-PHENYLENE-DISELENOTHIOCARBONATE) - NEW SEMICONDUCTING POLYMERS, European Polymer Journal, 32(9), 1996, pp. 1155-1160
New polymers which contain selenium in the main chain have been synthe
sized. Poly(p-phenylene-diselenocarbonate) and poly(p-phenylene-disele
nothiocarbonate) have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS). Electrical conductivity was measured on samples without dopant
agent and on samples doped with AlCl3, FeCl3, SbF5 and I-2. The morph
ology of these compounds was studied using a scanning electron microsc
ope (SEM). Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
