Abstract
High molecular weight films, fibers and foams of poly(p-phenylene vinylene), (PPV), have been prepared via a water soluble polyelectrolyte precursor. p-Type chemical doping of these materials with ASF5 and H2SO4 leads to high conductivity and to high electrical anisotropy in oriented films and fibers. n-Doping with sodium naphthalide is also possible giving a semiconducting material. PPV synthesis, processing, and conductivity results are reported.Keywords
