Abstract
This article deals with the microlevel structure of the electronically conductive polymer, polyaniline, on the basis of the conducting islands model of Epstein et al. The paper presents, for the first time, TEM pictures of the microlevel structure of heavily doped polyaniline, possibly showing the conducting islands in the material. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Keywords
