Charge transport in a mixed ironically/electronically conducting, cationic, polyacetylene ionomer between ion-blocking electrodes
Article Abstract:
The electrical behavior of the cationic, polyacetylene-based, conjugated ionomer, poly[(2-cyclooctatetraenylethyl)trimethly lammonium trifuoromethanesulfonate], sandwiched between gold electrodes is reported. The steady-state current of this mixed ionically/ electronically conducting system is assigned to be unipolar diffusive hole transport for voltages below ~1.4 V, giving way to bipolar migratory transport above ~ 1.4 V.

Mechanisms of actuation in conducting polymers: osmotic expansion
Article Abstract:
The thermodynamics of the volume change of conducting polymers is examined and experimental evidence for the existence of osmotic expansion as an important mechanism for a typical conducting polymer actuator system, polypyrrole (PPy) doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS) is given. The experiments revealed that the expansion decreases as the electrolyte concentration is increased.

Nonlinear osmotic brush regime: Experiments, simulations and scaling theory
Article Abstract:
Highly condensed planar brushes are considered experimentally and theoretically, made of charged polymers. It is shown that strongly stretched brushes show a slight but detectable height variation upon lateral compression, using X-ray reflectivity on polyelectrolytes.
