Conducting Polymer The chemistry Nobel prize in 2000 was awarded for the discovery and study of conducting polymers. Alan J. Heeger, Alan G MacDiarmid, Hideki Shirakawa ( 白川英樹) 1 Polymers • Polymers are typically utilized in electrical and electronic applications as insulators where advantage is taken of their very high resistivities. • Typical properties of polymeric materials: Strength, flexibility, elasticity, stability, mouldability, ease of handling, etc. 2 Conducting Polymers • Can provide electromagnetic shielding of electronic circuits • Can be used as antistatic coating material to prevent electrical discharge exposure on photographic emulsions • Can be used as hole injecting electrodes for OLEDS • Usage in electroluminescent displays (mobile telephones) • In use as emissive layer in full-color video matrix displays • Some are promising for field-effect transistors (Usage in supermarket checkouts) • Some absorb microwaves: stealth technique 3 The field-effect transistor (FET) is a transistor that relies on an electric field to control the shape and hence the conductivity of a channel in a semiconductor material. FETs are sometimes used as voltage-controlled resistors. Large power N-channel field effect transistor 4 Conductivities 5 6 7 OLED
