  • Patent number: 4670176
    Abstract: More than two impurities are doped in a host crystal of compound semiconductors. One of the impurities is an anisoelectronic impurity. One or more than one impurities are isoelectronic impurities. The anisoelectronic impurity determines the electronic property and the carrier density of the semiconductor. Isoelectronic impurity does not change the electronic property. But isoelectronic impurity has an effect of impurity hardening.The impurity atom forms a covalent bond with a host atom. The bond length between an impurity and a host atom differs from the standard bond between host atoms. Although the real bond lengths between an impurity atom and a host atom cannot be measured, the Inventors think the difference of bond lengths generate dislocation or other lattice defects of crystal.

  • Patent number: 4665129
    Abstract: Thermoplastic mixtures based on macromolecular compounds and pyrrole polymers contain finely divided pyrrole polymers which are embedded in a matrix of the macromolecular compound. Such mixtures are prepared by a process in which solutions of the macromolecular compounds and compounds from the class consisting of the pyrroles are polymerized with an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent, and the resulting mixture is separated off from the solvent. Moldings obtained from such mixtures are used as electrical conductors or as electrodes.

  • Patent number: 4655963
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electroconductive and thermoplastic resin composition which is comprised of 99-80 parts by weight of a fluorine-containing graft copolymer and 1-20 parts by weight of carbon black. The graft copolymer is one obtained by graft copolymerization of a fluorine-containing monomer that gives a crystalline polymer, such as vinylidene fluoride, with a fluorine-containing elastomeric copolymer having peroxy bond, such as a ternary copolymer of vinylidene fluoride, chlorotrifluoroethylene and an unsaturated peroxy compound. To attain good conductivity while maintaining favorable mechanical properties of the fluorine-containing graft copolymer, it is essential to use a carbon black which is not smaller than 500 m.sup.2 /g in specific surface area and not smaller than 250 ml/100 g in oil absorption.
