NEW METHOD FOR THERMOELECTROOXIDATION INVESTIGATIONS OF ELECTROCONDUCTIVE POLYMER COMPOSITIONS

A new method of testing electroconductive polymer compositions for the rmoelectrooxidation is reported. A special reaction vessel design, whi ch allows experiments to be conducted under conditions of passing an e lectric current through the sample combined with the heat and oxygen i nfluence, is described together with the apparatus arrangement and exp erimental method. The difference between the oxygen absorbtion kinetic curves obtained using the given method and curves obtained in similar conditions but in the absence of the electric current are compared.
