Abstract

A thermostable polymer, called sulfur lignin, has been obtained when modifying lignin by reactions with elemental sulfur at elevated temperatures. Sulfur linkages are formed between the phenylpropane units of lignin in these reactions. The conductivity of polymers which have a conjugated structure can be increased by doping with electron acceptors or donors. The conductivity of sulfur lignin has been measured after doping with various dopants and from the results it is concluded that the doped sulfur lignin has the properties off a semi conductive polymer.
