The electrophysical properties of polytolans and polydiphenylbutadiyne and the relationship between these and supermolecular structure

Abstract

A polymer of tolan, obtained by thermal polymerization, and polymers of tolan and diphenylbutadiyne, obtained by anionic polymerization, have been studied by the space charge-limiyted current method. The energy of activation for conduction, the mobility and concentration of the charge carriers and the density and depth of the traps were found. It is shown that in polymers containing a conjugated double bond system there are traps grouped about fundamental trapping level. © 1977.
