Solving mysteries of conductivity in polymers
When the material was first developed it had conductivity of between 1 and 10 Siemens per centimeter, or S/cm, Gleason says; over time, it was improved to a level of “close to 100.” Now, with the new analysis carried out by this team, conductivities of over 3,000 S/cm have been achieved. By creating ultrathin layers that amplify the hopping mechanism, “We are able to achieve ultraconductive, as well as highly transparent, films,” Varanasi says.
The material was heated to 100 degrees Celsius (a), and then to 200 degrees C
