Abstract
We report on a fascinating morphology; giant spherical conducting polythiophene by the in-situ gamma radiation-induced chemical polymerization method. The resultant micron-size buckyball-shaped polymer structures were identified by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Different characterizations e.g. Fourier transform infrared, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron microscopy were utilized to prove that the new morphological conducting polythiophene was synthesized successfully by this novel method.
