2 TYPES OF NEURON-LIKE CONDUCT POLYMER PREPARED ELECTROCHEMICALLY ANDTHEIR PROPERTIES

Two types of neuron-like conducting polymers, polypyrrole, have been p repared electrochemically. One is 2-dimensional growth type and anothe r is 3-dimensional one. The former has consisted of more than two frac tal conducting polymers and conductivity of the path between these fra ctal conducting polymers has been controlled by doping and undoping us ing the third electrode. The conductivity between the branches is depe ndent on the duration time and the number of applied pulse to the thir d electrode. In order to make non-linear function on this network, ano ther conducting polymer has been prepared at connected branch. We sugg est a new neuron-type conducting polymer device.
