Preparation and Characterization of Polythiophene Polymer Composite

Preparation of polythiophene (PTh) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer composites was done by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method using FeCl 3 as an oxidant. Thin films of PTh–PEO polymer composite were prepared for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 wt% of lithium chloride (LiCl) as a dopant. Charac...

Zusammenfassung:Preparation of polythiophene (PTh) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer composites was done by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method using FeCl 3 as an oxidant. Thin films of PTh–PEO polymer composite were prepared for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 wt% of lithium chloride (LiCl) as a dopant. Characterization of the sample were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. DC conductivity as a function of temperature was measured in the temperature range 303–338 K by the two probe method. The temperature dependence of conductivity showed Arrhenius behaviour. PTh–PEO composite doped with 4 wt% LiCl showed the maximum value of DC conductivity.
