An A-to-Z of doping including its definition, its importance,
methods of measurement, advantages and disadvantages, properties
and characteristics and role in conjugated polymers The versatility
of polymer materials is expanding because of the introduction of
electro-active behavior into the characteristics of some of them.
The most exciting development in this area is related to the
discovery of intrinsically conductive polymers or conjugated
polymers, which include such examples as polyacetylene,
polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene as well as their
derivatives. "Synmet" or "synthetic metal" conjugated polymers,
with their metallic characteristics, including conductivity, are of
special interest to researchers. An area of limitless potential and
application, conjugated polymers have sparked enormous interest,
beginning in 2000 when the Nobel Prize for the discovery and
development of electrically conducting conjugated polymers was
awarded to three scientists: Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid,
and Hideki Shirakawa. Conjugated polymers have a combination of
properties both metallic (conductivity) and polymeric; doping gives
the conjugated polymer's semiconducting a wide range of
conductivity, from insulating to low conducting. The doping process
is a tested effective method for producing conducting polymers as
semiconducting material, providing a substitute for inorganic
semiconductors. Doping in Conjugated Polymers is the first book
dedicated to the subject and offers a comprehensive A-to-Z
overview. It details doping interaction, dopant types, doping
techniques, and the influence of the dopant on applications. It
explains how the performance of doped conjugated polymers is
greatly influenced by the nature of the dopants and their level of
distribution within the polymer, and shows how the electrochemical,
mechanical, and optical properties of the doped conjugated polymers
can be tailored by controlling the size and mobility of the dopants
counter ions. The book also examines doping at the nanoscale, in
particular, with carbon nanotubes. Readership The book will
interest a broad range of researchers including chemists,
electrochemists, biochemists, experimental and theoretical
physicists, electronic and electrical engineers, polymer and
materials scientists. It can also be used in both graduate and
upper-level undergraduate courses on conjugated polymers and
polymer technology.
