Electrically conducting compositions derived from poly(phenylene), and shaped article comprising such a composition.

摘要

Described are electrically conducting doped poly(phenylene) compositions, preferably exhibiting conductivities greater than about 10<-><4> ohm<-><1> cm<-><1> as measured by the four-probe method at room temperature. Preferred dopants are Group IA metal arenes, aa electron donor agents, and arsenic pentafluoride as an electron acceptor agent. Semi-conductors and infrared absorber materials manufactured from the compositions are also described.
