Tsukuba, Japan—Conductive polymers are also referred to as synthetic metals owing to their electrical conductivity. As precursors of conductive polymers, conjugated polymers are currently being ...

An international research team has synthesized a multilayered two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal, achieving unique metallic out-of-plane charge transport and high conductivity. This study ...

ANAHEIM, Calif.--A powerful one-step, "chain growth" method should make it easier to design and synthesize a variety of highly conductive polymers for different research and commercial applications, ...

Collaboration has led to the successful observation of these ultrafast electrons within conducting two-dimensional polymers. Professors Kimoon Kim and Ji Hoon Shim along with Dr. Yeonsang Lee from the ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

Synthetic polymers have changed the world around us. However, It is hard to finely tune some of their properties, such as the ability to transport ions. To overcome this problem, researchers decided ...
