Abstract

We have carried out structural analyses of highly conductive polyacetylene in order to elucidate the relationship between stucture and electrical properties. Sharp X-ray diffraction lines were observed for the heavily iodine-doped polyacetylene showing high conductivity, in contrast with the diffused diffractions of the conventional one. SEM observation reveals that granular structure of the new polyacetylene is composed of densely packed micro-fibrils. The result from the resonance Raman analysis indicates that the new cis-polyacetylene contains more longer conjugated segments than conventional polyacetylene. The relationship between the structure and conductivity is discussed, basing on the crystal structure and morphology observed.
