the nylon and nylon/lycra yarns were coated with electrically conductive polymers such as polyaniline and polypyrrole, via chemical polymerization process. electrical conductivity of the coated yarns was measured at variousstrain levels using two-point probe technique and their strain sensitivities were studied. the results showed that, electrical conductivity of the coated yarns decreased with...

in this paper, electronic, structural, and spectroscopic properties of mono-, di-, tri-, andtetrafluorothiophenes and their radical cations are studied using the density functional theory andb3lyp method with 6-311++g** basis set. also the effects of the number and position of thesubstituent on the electrochemical properties of the thiophene ring have been studied usingoptimized structures obta...

Lithium sulfur batteries have brought significant advancement to the current state-of-art battery technologies because of their high theoretical specific energy, but their wide-scale implementation has been impeded by a series of challenges, especially the dissolution of intermediate polysulfides species into the electrolyte. Conductive polymers in combination with nanostructured sulfur have at...

Electrospinning is a convenient method to produce nanofibers with controlled diameters on the order of tens to hundreds of nanometers. The resulting nonwoven fiber mats are lightweight, highly porous, and have high specific surface areas around 1 to 100 m/g. Combined with the high electrical conductivity of intrinsically conductive polymers, conductive electrospun fiber mats are promising for a...

Conductive polymers are interesting materials for a number of biological and medical applications requiring electrical stimulation of cells or tissues. Highly conductive polymers (polypyrrole and polyaniline)/Antheraea mylitta silk fibroin coated fibers are fabricated successfully by in situ polymerization without any modification of the native silk fibroin. Coated fibers characterized by scann...

Researches in the field of conductive polymers have attracted considerable attention for more then 20 years. Among the conductive polymers, polyaniline and polypyrrole have drawn considerable interest because of their economical importance, good environmental stability and satisfactory electrical conductivity when doped. On the other hand, electrically conductive materials such as aluminium pow...

The development of a conductive fiber produced from an inherently conductive polymer (ICP) polyaniline (PANI) was accomplished during this the third year of our National Textile Center funding. This goal accomplished the stated mission of the research effort. The fiber produced has tensile properties approaching that of nylon 6 and a conductivity of around 350 S/cm. This achievement has led to ...
