some composites: preparation, characterization and their applications: conducting polymer composites

Conducting polymers have become one of the most promising fields of research and development since the discovery of intrinsically conducting polymers by Alan J. Heeger, Hideki Shirakawa and Alan G. MacDiarmid in 1977, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in the year 2000. Since the discovery in 1977 that conjugated polymers can be doped to achieve almost metallic electronic conduction, the research field of conducting polymers has escalated, with applications such as in light emitting diodes, solar cells, thin film transistors, electrochemical transistors, logic circuits and sensors. These materials can be chemically modified during their synthesis in order to tailor the desired mechanical and electrical properties of the product. synthetic methods can be developed for the synthesis of conducting polymer nanocomposite in order to provide the necessary materials base for both research and applications. The main aim of our proposed research wok is to synthesize organic-inorganic and organic-organic composite materials and apply these materials in analytical and electroanalytical applications.
