Growth and electrical characterisation of conjugated polymer nanostructures

Abstract

The field of conductive polymers is one in which there has been much interest in the last number of years. Two of the most common conductive polymers, polypyrrole and poly(p-phenylene vinylene) are investigated in the course of this work. Polypyrrole in two different physical forms are prepared; both using electropolymerisation techniques from aqueous solutions of the monomer.
