Abstract
Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) films were doped with four organic acceptors (tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), dicyanodichlorobenzoquinone (DDQ), p-chloranil, and trinitrofluorenone (TNF)). The sample films remained flexible and tough after doping. The optical and electrical properties of the doped PPS have been measured and discussed in terms of electron affinity of the acceptor molecule. The systematic variation of optical transmission spectra of PPS by doping indicated that a charge-transfer complex was formed between PPS chains and acceptor molecules. Doping with TCNE and DDQ gave a 10 order increase of the conductivity, while chloranil and TNF possessed little effect to enhance the conductivity. The chemical reaction accompanied by doping was found to also give the effect to increase the conductivity of doped PPS. A good correlation between the conductivities and activation energies obtained from the temperature dependences of conductivity was found in all doped PPS samples. It was pointed out that the electronic conduction in PPS/dopant systems must be governed by the mechanism which was independent of dopant content and dopant species.
