“…They have been exploited as dopants for conducting polymers to enhance their photoconductivity [354]. Because of its high ioni zation potential (7.6 eV), fullerene C 60 is expected not to interact with molecular iodine under no external force.…”

A unique feature of molecular iodine by far, is its ability to bind to polymeric materials. A plethora of natural and synthetic polymers develop complexes when treated with molecular iodine, or with a mixture of mole cular iodine and potassium iodide. Many unexpected findings have been encountered upon complexation of iodine and the polymer skeleton, including the color formation, the polymer morphology changes, the compl exation sites or regions, the biological activity, and the electrical conductivity enhancement of the complexes, with poly iodides (I n¯) , mainly I 3¯ and I 5¯, as the actual binding species. Natural polymers that afford such complexes with iodine species are starch (amylose and amylopectin), chitosan, glycogen, silk, wool, albumin, cellulose, xylan, and natural rubber; iodinestarch being the oldest iodinenatural polymer complex. By contrast, numerous synthetic polymers are prone to make com plexes, including poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), nylons, poly(Schiff base)s, poly aniline, unsaturated polyhydrocarbons (carbon nano tubes, fullerenes C 60 /C 70 , polyacetylene; iodinePVA being the oldest iodinesynthetic polymer complex.

“…Nanotube composites with conducting polymers seem to possess novel electrical and optical properties. Yoshino et al [200] observed increased conductivity at relatively low nanotube concentrations in the composites and an enhancement of photoconductivity, implying possible use in optoelectronic devices. SWNT-coated molybdenum electrodes appear to be alternatives for gas discharge tubes in advanced telecom networks, due to their lower dc breakdown voltage and higher reliability [189].…”
