R. Cagnolati et al., ELASTIC CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(3-N DECYLPYRROLE) THIN-FILMS BY BRILLOUIN LIGHT-SCATTERING, Synthetic metals, 60(3), 1993, pp. 255-258
The first elastic characterization of processable electrically conduct
ive polymer obtained by Brillouin scattering (BS) is presented. BS mea
surements are performed on samples of poly(3-n.decylpyrrole) in the fo
rm of supported thin films obtained from spinning. Elastic parameters,
such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, are derived from BS spec
tra and discussed in comparison with other related polymeric materials
.
