ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE BLOCK COPOLYMERS CONTAINING AN INTRINSICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER

摘要

An electrically conductive block copolymer is composed of a non-intrinsically conductive polymer block bonded to at least one intrinsically conductive polymer block through a linkage group. The intrinsically conductive polymer block is polymerized as the salt of an organic acid. The block copolymer has a high molecular weight, is electrically conductive as synthesized and has a solubility in xylene of at least about 1 % wt./wt. Also provided is a method for producing such block copolymer.
