Toward Amorphous Conductors: Enhanced Conductivity of Doped Polyaniline via Interchain Crosslinking Promoted by Acid-Functionalized Aluminum Quinolines

Polyaniline is doped with an Alq3 homologue endowed with sulfonic acid functionalities. The design of the dopant, which favors the formation of a crosslinked network between the polymer chains, along with its semiconducting electrical properties, highly enhance charge transport inside the amorphous...

Description
Summary:	Polyaniline is doped with an Alq3 homologue endowed with sulfonic acid functionalities. The design of the dopant, which favors the formation of a crosslinked network between the polymer chains, along with its semiconducting electrical properties, highly enhance charge transport inside the amorphous phase of the material (see figure).
