Abstract
Polyacetylene films have been synthesized, using a Ziegler-Natta catal yst and both decalin and liquid crystal solvents, on oriented poly(tet rafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports. The orientation has been probed by optical and scanning microscopies and polarized ultraviolet spectrosco py, with further characterization by Raman spectroscopy. Degrees of or ientation theta=12 degrees and theta=35 degrees were obtained using th e liquid crystal solvent and the simple decalin solvent, respectively. D.c. conductivities of the order of 2000 S/cm were obtained upon dopi ng with iodine.
