Summary
A series of polyblends of poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene), PPV, and poly(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene vinylene), PDMPV, were prepared in film form from precursor polyblends of the respective sulfonium salt polymers, which were separately prepared from the respectivebis(sulfonium salt) monomers. The blend films were doped with I2 at room temperature to obtain a wide range of electrical conductivities (10−2 to 102Scm−1) depending on the blend composition. The higher the content of PDMPV in the blends the higher was the conductivity.
