Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)

Description

• General description: A conducting polymer such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) anions (PEDOT/PSS) is widely used in various organic optoelectronic devices.[1][2][3] PEDOT: PSS is a blend of cationic polythiopene derivative, doped with a polyanion. High electrical conductivity and good oxidation resistance of such polymers make it suitable for electromagnetic shielding and noise suppression. Thus, the polymer film was found to possess high transparency throughout the visible light spectrum and even into near IR and near UV regions, virtually 100% absorption from 900-2,000 nm. No absorption maximum from 400-800 nm. Impact of small electric and magnetic fields on the polymer was studied. [4]
• Application: Orgacon DRY is specifically useful for water sensitive formulations containing UV curable monomer (suitable with small amount of water) and pre-polymer based formulations.Orgacon DRY pellets can be re-dispersed in organic solvents such as ethanol. The resulting dispersion can be used in coating - or ink - formulations targeted for different applications.Allow retention of PEDOT/PSS key properties in polar organic solvents; such as Ethanol; Surface Resistance: 200~450 Ohm/square; Visual Light Transmission: ~85%
• Physical properties: Active chemical PEDOT/PSSVisual appearance blue-grey pelletsWater content max. 15 % under 50% RH; 22°CShelf life 24 month in storage conditions
• Preparation Note: When spin-coated using S300 EtOH (contains less than 3.5% wt. H20) as the solvent; the Visual Light Transmission (VLT) according to ASTM D 1003 (excludes substrate) is 85%; and the Surface Resistance is 450 Ohm/square.
