An electronic speckle patterninterferom- etry (ESPI) method is used to measure the deformation ofPth films of thicknesses in the range of 4-65 μm . Theirstress-strain curves are obtained. It is found that the mechanicalproperties of Pth films are sensitive to the specimen thickness. Thetensile strength increases with decreasing thickness of thin filmfrom 10 μm. The influence of the electrochemical synthesisconditions on the mechanical properties of Pth films is also dis-Cussed.展开更多

This is mainly because these materials not only possess the characteristics of conducting polymers, but also have special functions based on their micro- or nano-structures. In this review, we summarize the recent work on “soft” and “hard” template-guided syntheses of micro-/nano-structured conducting polymers and open up the prospects of the main trends in this field.展开更多

Experimental results demonstrate that the thermal stability of PMeT in the oxidized state is much lower than that of the polymer in the neutral state. Furthermore, during the cooling process, the conformation of neutral species changes from a coil-like state into a rod-like state, while the conformation of the oxidized species does not change.展开更多
