C. Arbizzani et al., OPTICAL, ELECTRICAL AND ESR CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(P-PHENYLENESULFIDE) DURING ELECTROCHEMICAL DOPING, Synthetic metals, 55(2-3), 1993, pp. 1354-1359
Electrochemical doping of poly(p-phenylenesulfide) (pPPS) in concentra
ted sulfuric acid offers a promising way for studying electrical prope
rties of this material because an accurate control of the doping level
is possible. We have performed an extensive investigation of the elec
trochemical behaviour of pPPS in 96% H2SO4 and, hence, measured in sit
u optical spectra, conductivity and ESR data of samples at different v
alues of the injected charge; in this paper the results are presented
and discussed in relation to data of pPPS and oligomers chemically dop
