“…Conductive polymers have received increasing attention in the field of gas sensing materials [9]. The combination of conductive polymers with other materials such as metals or metaloxide nanoparticles [10][11][12], carbon nanotubes [13][14], and insulating polymers [15] have been developed and studied.…”

Abstract:Composites with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonic acid), PEDOT-PSS, as the matrix containing ZSM-5 zeolites of various Si/Al ratios in the range of 23-280 at 20% (v/v) were fabricated to investigate the effect of Si/Al ratios on electrical conductivity sensitivity responses towards carbon monoxide (CO). The electrical conductivity responses of PEDOT-PSS/ZSM-5 composites were altered due to the available adsorption sites for CO molecules. The electrical conductivity sensitivity to CO increases with decreasing Si/Al ratios. The composites produce irreversible responses when replacing CO with nitrogen. The addition of ZSM-5 zeolites to the pristine PEDOT-PSS improves the electrical conductivity sensitivity of the composites by enhancing the interaction between PEDOT-PSS and CO gas. The composite of ZSM-5 zeolites with a Si/Al ratio equal to 23 gives the highest electrical conductivity sensitivity toward CO.

“…conjugated polymers, was born. Nowadays, conjugated polymers are the subject of numerous investigations towards their applicability in polymeric LEDs [2][3] , organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) [4] , photo detectors [5] , (bio)sensors [6] , hybrid and/or all organic solar cells and photovoltaics [7] , corrosion inhibiting coatings [8] and antistatic layers. The main advantages for applying conjugated polymers are the production of large-area applications, film flexibility and reduced production cost.…”

Plasma deposition of conjugated polymer films at atmospheric pressure is described. The thiophene derivatives, thiophene, 3-methylthiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene were used as monomers. The plasma depositions with the different precursors were compared with analytical techniques such as XPS, FT-IR, UV-VIS and resistance measurements.Good results were obtained with pulsed plasma depositions of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). Conductivities up to 1 x 10 -2 S/cm were measured.

“…The polymers produced by chemical synthesis are expected to have ordered structures [52]. Electrochemical synthesis of these polymers is carried out by anodic oxidation of the monomers in suitable electrolytes either at constant potential or current, or even by cycling between different potentials [52].…”
