| Abstract: | Abstract The stability of the doped state of conductive polythiophenes under air was investigated by the use of Infrared (IR) and UV-visible (UV) spectroscopies. Poly(3-methyl thiophene) doped with BF3-ethyl ether (BFEE). shows higher stability due to its stereoregularity-chain structure. While the doped polythiophene (PT) degrades easily under the moisture. |
