Conjugated polymers in thin films are of great interest for various applications such as organic photovoltaics, organic light emitting diodes and organic field effect transistors. Therefore, the selective modification and control of their electrical conductivity has special importance. Doping of conjugated polymers in particular allows for the adjusting of the conductivity. In polyacetylene the conductivity is increased over a remarkably large range from an insulating to a metallic behaviour.
In this work we prepare thin films of polyacethylene derivatives through solution based processes and test different doping methods. The film thickness is determined with x-ray reflectivity measurements. The electrical conductivity is measured with respect to film thickness and doping. UV/Vis measurements complete our investigations.
