Abstract

Abstract: Polymerization of 1, 6-heptadiyne on the surfaces of concentrated solutions of homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts leads to insoluble, free-standing films with metallic luster.“Doping” of these films by treatment with acceptors results in conductivities up to 1 S/cm. The polymer has been characterized in terms of its molecular structure, its solid-state structure and physical properties, the nature of the doping process, and its thermal and ...
