Summary
Electroactive polymer blends of polyacetylene (PA) with poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or methyl methacrylate-butadien-styrene (MBS) copolymer were prepared in situ as free-standing films or powders by polymerization of acetylene in the presence of PMMA or MBS-copolymer, using Luttinger's catalyst. Blends of different composition were studied by infrared spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Environmental stability of pristine and doped PA was improved to some extent in the presence of PMMA.
