M. Rusu et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY AND SEEBECK COEFFICIENT OF NEW POLY(ESTER-SYLOXANE)URETHANE ELASTOMERS IN THIN-FILMS, Thin solid films, 326(1-2), 1998, pp. 256-262
The temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity and the See
beck coefficient for some new poly(ester-syloxane) urethane elastomers
are studied. The measurements have been performed using thin films de
posited from solution. It is found that the investigated polymers have
semiconducting properties. Values of some semiconducting parameters o
f these films (activation energy of electrical conduction, charge carr
ier concentration, ratio of carrier mobilities) have been calculated.
The correlations between some of these parameters and the molecular st
ructure of the respective polymers are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sc
