A quartz crystal microbalance study of vapor phase iodine doping of polyacetylene

Three types of polyacetylene were synthesized and studied: Shirakawa (S-(CH) x ) and Tsukamoto ( v-(CH) x ). Thin films of each type of polyacetylene were polymerized directly onto quartz crystal substrates. The quartz cyrstal microbalance (QCM) was used to measure the mass change during oxidation (...

Description
Summary:Three types of polyacetylene were synthesized and studied: Shirakawa (S-(CH) x ) and Tsukamoto ( v-(CH) x ). Thin films of each type of polyacetylene were polymerized directly onto quartz crystal substrates. The quartz cyrstal microbalance (QCM) was used to measure the mass change during oxidation (doping) of polyacetylene with iodine in the vapor phase. This is the first QCM study of mass change during vapor phase iodine doping of polyacetylene. The differences between the three polyacetylene materials are compared. The most dense polyacetylene, v-(CH) x , dopes more slowly but appears to result in the highest conductivity.
