ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER MATERIAL HAVING ELECTRICAL ANISOTROPY, AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a material composed of a highly oriented polyacetylene containing a dopant, exhibiting high electrical conductivity, useful as an electrical or electronic element having anisotropic electrical conductivity and capable of giving a p/n junction element. CONSTITUTION:A highly oriented polyacetylene prepared by polymerizing acetylene using a liquid crystal substance as a polymerization medium, is treated with an electron accepting substance or an electron donative substance. The liquid crystal substance is preferably nematic liquid crystal.
