Conducting polymers, because of their special properties, are used to introduce conductive polymeric composites. Also, clays have recently been used for preparation of polymer composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. The aim of this work is to study the synergetic effect of the co-presence of conducting polyaniline and montmorillonite in the polyethylene matrix. Polyethylene ...

Computational and mathematical models provide an important compliment to experimental studies in the development of solar energy engineering in case of electro-conductive magnetic micropolar polymers. Inspired by further understanding the complex fluid dynamics of these processes, we examine herein the non-linear steady, hydromagnetic micropolar flow with radiation and heat source/sink effects ...

Conductive polymers find key applications ranging from optoelectronics and OLEDs to conductive composite materials. The synthesis of monomers, such as thiophene derivatives, pyrroles aniline, mainly relies on oxidative polymerization, the processing so-formed (insoluble) is a major issue that needs be addressed. In present work, photopolymerization 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) by visible l...

A novel class of organometallic polymers comprising N-heterocyclic carbenes and transition metals was shown to have potential as an electrically conductive, self-healing material. These polymers were found to exhibit conductivities of the order of 10(-3) S cm-1 and showed structurally dynamic characteristics in the solid-state. Thin films of these materials were cast onto silicon wafers, then s...

Elastomeric conductive layer is the crucial component of flexible sensor, which transmits and quantifies external stimuli in form electrical signals. In this review, Feng co-workers comprehensively summarize recent advancements elastomeric polymers used to make layer, as well relationships between function, performance, application sensors (e319).

Intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) have been considered for use in various applica‐ tions. One of the most important applications of these materials which are attracting consid‐ erable attention in the most recent times is in corrosion protection of oxidizable metals [1]. The effective use of conducting polymers for corrosion protection of metals can be carried out by different methods; l...

Conductive organic polymers can be formulated with polymers that incorporate fine dispersed metallic particles. In this work, we present a general model for ferrogels which are chemically cross-linked polymer networks swollen with a ferrofluid. Our aim is to study the effect of the shape and/or material (conductivity) anisotropy on the effective electrical conductivity of the ferrogel in the pr...

The characterization of many objects involves the determination of a basic set of particle size measures derived mainly from scattering and transport property measurements. For polymers, these basic properties include the radius of gyration Rg, hydrodynamic radius Rh, intrinsic viscosity [η], and sedimentation coefficient S, and for conductive particles, the electric polarizability tensor αE an...
