Engineering hydrophilic conducting composites with enhanced ion mobility

Ion mobility has a direct influence on the performance of conducting polymers in a number of applications as it dictates the operational speed of the devices. We report here the enhanced ion mobility of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) after incorporation of gelatin. The gelatin-rich domains were s...

Description
Summary:Ion mobility has a direct influence on the performance of conducting polymers in a number of applications as it dictates the operational speed of the devices. We report here the enhanced ion mobility of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) after incorporation of gelatin. The gelatin-rich domains were seen to provide an ion pathway through the composites.
