Abstract
The doping of neutral polymers with dissolved metal salts or metal complexes for the purpose of imparting electrical conductivity to the polymer has received little attention. In the few instances where this technique has been applied enhancement of conductivity has been marginal. Angelo1 initially reported in a patent the synthetic procedure for the addition of metal ions to numerous types of polyimides. Few properties of the films which he cast are available from the patent. However, the electrical properties at room temperature of a film derived from 4,4′-diamino-diphenylmethane, pyromellitic dianhydride and bis(acetylacetonato)-copper(II) were given as follows: percent copper, 3.0%; dielectric consent, 3.6%; dissipation factor, 0.004–0.01; volume resistivity, 8×1012 ohm-cm. The measured resistivity represented a 5–6 orders of magnitude enhancement over the polymer alone. Further patents or published work in this area are not available.2
