Polymeric Semiconductors with a Pre‐Specified Alternation of Conjugated Bonds and Metal Clusters

Abstract

Summary: In this work the first samples of polymeric semiconductors of a new structure are produced. Their electric conductivity is of the order ∼10−2 Ohm−1 · cm−1 and it increases with temperature. Their synthesis includes a stage of radiation grafting of a matrix‐type on stretched polyamide films. Conducting molecular circuits in such materials include fragments with conjugated bonds and metal clusters. The alternation of these fragments is determined by the polyamide matrix.Plot of voltage versus current determined for new polymer semiconducting films where fragments with conjugated bonds alternate with silver clusters.imagePlot of voltage versus current determined for new polymer semiconducting films where fragments with conjugated bonds alternate with silver clusters.
