Abstract

Polyazomethine polymers were prepared from the polycondensation of terephthaldehye with different diamines, namely, benzidine, 2,3-diaminopyridine, 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone and 3,5 diamino-1,2,4-triazole. The electrical conductivities of the polymers were studied with doping with H2SO4 and 5% I2 together with the undoped polymers. The crystallinity and morphology of the polymers were studied using XRD and scanning electron microscopy. A comparative study of the electrical conductivities of oligomers of polyazomethines and those of their corresponding polymers was performed.
