Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the charge-transfer (CT) complex crystallization in the reticulate doping process is presented. Our description enables to distinguish the main parameters controlling the CT complex crystallization conditions indispensable for obtaining highly conductive systems. The discussion concerns the role of the following parameters: temperature, solubility of the CT complex, solvent evaporation rate, initial thickness of the solution layer, polymer concentration, and the ratio of the mass of the CT complex to the mass of the polymer in the solution. The presented discussion of the influence of these parameters of the CT complex crystallization process is in good accordance with our studies of obtaining various conducting polymer/CT complex systems. The factors mentioned above have a strong hold on the morphology and the content of the crystalline CT complex, and hence on the electrical properties of reticulate doped systems.
