Publisher's Synopsis
Conducting polymers are an important class of organic materials with electric conductivity and have experienced a rapid development. Intrinsically conducting polymers, also known as "synthetic metals," are polymers with a highly conjugated polymeric chain. They have been studied extensively due to their intriguing electronic and redox properties, along with the resulting numerous potential applications in many fields since their discovery in 1970s. Conducting polymers (CPs) such as polypyrrole, polythiophene and polyanilines are complex dynamic structures that captivate the imagination of those involved in intelligent materials research. The application of electrical stimuli can result in drastic changes in the chemical, electrical and mechanical properties of CPs. These complex properties can be controlled only if we understand, first, the nature of the processes that regulate them during the synthesis of the conducting polymers, and second, the extent to which these properties are changed by the application of an electrical stimulus. polyaniline and its derivative is one of important conducting polymer, it has many application such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), corrosion and solar cells. Conducting polymers (CPs), which combine the electronic characteristic of metals and inorganic semiconductors, possess the attractive advantage of having easy synthesis control over the properties of the polymeric exposed surface such as structure, morphology and thickness. The use of these polymers represents the most important development in the preparation of modified electrodes to make sensors and biosensors. Their synthesis can be achieved by two conventional methods. Application of Conducting Polymers focuses on mechanism of conduction and mechanism of charge transport of conducting polymers. The rich literature concerned about different applications of CPs: conducting polymers (CPs) in electronic, electromechanical, and optoelectronic devices, and conducting polymers (CP's) in electronic chemical sensors that are based on the mechanisms of mechanical, electronic, or optical transduction. Conducting polymers, such as polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (Pani), polythiophene (PTh) and their derivatives, have been used as the active layers of gas sensors since early 1980. There are two main types of applications for the Conducting organic polymers in electronics: first one is that a polymer can be used as a material for constructing different devices and as discriminating layers in electronic chemical sensors. In both cases, interacting with surrounding gases is vital. It can possibly determine the performance of the devices that are depending on conducting polymers, while it is helpful and supportive in chemical sensors. Conductivity has been the main property of concern; the aim is of study and to identify the usability of the conducting polymers in the two kinds of electronic applications mentioned above. Electronic Chemical Sensors for gases are thought of to be at the top of gaining the information related to the environment that we live in. The quality of the air that we breathe in our bodies is very important issue and is a real concern of modern society.
