Patent number: 6193909Abstract: Cross-linked electrically conductive polymers, in particular electrically conductive, polyaniline are described. Dopants and substituents having pendant cross-linkable functionality are used which form a cross-linked conducting polymer network. The cross-linking functionality can be hydrogen-bonding as well as chemically polymerizable or cross-linkable. A conjugated path between chains can also be incorporated. The resulting cross-linked conducting polymers have enhanced thermal and environmental stability. The dopant cannot readily be washed out with solvents or diffuse out upon exposure to heat. In addition, the cross-linked polymers have enhanced electrical conductivity.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1996Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marie Angelopoulos, Jeffrey D. Gelorme, Yun Hsin Liao, Jane M. Shaw
