PEDOT [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)] powder soluble in common organic solvent were synthesized by oxidative polymerization of EDOT (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) monomer using functional dopant, DEHSNa [sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate]. Transparent electrodes were made by spin casting of PEDOT/organic solvents on substrates. The electrode showed the transmittance < 90% in visible region and the surface resistance of> ${\sim}10^3\;ohm/{\square}$, respectively.

Quality of PEDOT electrode thin film vapor phase-polymerized on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is very crucial for making an ohmic contact between electrode and semiconductor layer of an organic transistor. In order to improve the quality of PEDOT film, the quality of APS-SAM laying underneath the film must be in the best condition. In this study, in order to improve the quality of APS-SAM, the monolayer was self-assembled on $SiO_2$ surface by a dip-coating method under strictly controlled relative humidity (< 18%RH). The quality of APS-SAM and PEDOT thin film were investigated with a contact angle analyzer, AFM, FE-SEM, and four-point probe. The investigation showed that a PEDOT film grown on the humidity-controlled SAM is very smooth and compact (sheet resistivity = 20.2 Ohm/sq) while a film grown under the uncontrolled condition is nearly amorphous and contains quite many pores (sheet resistivity = 200 Ohm/sq). Therefore, this study clearly proves that a highly improved quality of APSSAM can offer a highly conductive PEDOT electrode thin film on it.

It is essential to employ a binder to prepare transparent films from conductive polymer such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS). In this paper, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), and PSS were selected as a binder, and their effects were investigated. The formation of the film was found to be primarily dependent on the surface tension of coating solution including PEDOT/PSS and a binder. When PSS was used as a binder, the film was not formed. In case of using PVP, it was easily peeled off from the substrate. However, when using the PVA or the mixtures of PVA and PSS or PVA and PVP as a binder, films with good transparency and uniform surface resistances were produced. Based on adhesion and long-term stability tests, we concluded that the mixture of PVA and PSS is the best binder for preparing antistatic films of PEDOT/PSS.

산화제를 이용 기상중합법을 통해 합성되는 고전도도 Poly (3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) 박막은 OTFT, RFID tag, 또는 연성 디스플레이 같은 분야에 다양한 응용 가능성을 가지고 있으며 이로 인해 최근에 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. PEDOT박막의 전극소재로써 가능성은 박막의 중합 정도와 표면 형상에 크게 좌우된다. 특히, Si-웨이퍼 기판 위에 산화제의 균일한 도포 및 산화제 자체의 높은 산도 ($pH{\leq}2$)에 따른 부반응의 억제는 기상중합법을 이용한 PEDOT박막의 합성에 있어 매우 중요하다. PEDOT의 효율적인 중합과 균일한 성장을 위해 산화제에 DUDO 와 PEG-PPG-PEG를 첨가한 혼합 산화제 용액을 제조 기상중합 방법을 통해 PEDOT박막을 제작하였다. 그 결과 산화제만을 사용하여 제작된 박막에 비해 전도도가 최대 3,660 S/cm로 향상된 PEDOT 박막이 합성되었다. 이러한 결과는 PEG-PPG-PEG가 산화제 용액의 균일 도포를 향상시키고 Base Inhibitor로 작용하는 DUDO는 PEDOT 성장 시 중합속도를 조절하고 부반응을 최소화 하여 효율적인 공액 이중 결합의 생성을 촉진한데 주로 기인한다. 따라서 그로인해 조밀하며 마이크로 스케일의 기공이 최소화된 PEDOT박막의 합성이 가능하였다. PEDOT박막의 특성 평가에는 4-point probe, optical microscopy, Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope, 등이 사용되었으며 또한 전도도의 향상 원인을 분석하고자 ATR-IR Spectrophotometer를 이용하여 합성된 박막의 작용기를 분석하였다. 이러한 고전도도의 PEDOT 박막이 OTFT의 전극소재로 사용된다면 OTFT소자의 성능 향상에 크게 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has good properties such as high conductivity, optical transmittance, and chemical stability, while offering relatively weak physicochemical properties. The main purpose of this paper is the improvement of physicochemical properties such as solvent resistance and pencil hardness of PEDOT. Carboxyl groups in the anionic type waterborne polyurethane (WPU) chains can effectively crosslink each other in the presence of aziridine, resulting in physicochemically robust PEDOT/WPU organic-organic hybrid conductive thin films. The electrical conductivity, optical properties, and physicochemical properties of the hybrid conductive film were compared by varying the solid content and WPU portion in the coating precursor solution. From the results, the transparency and surface resistance of the hybrid film show a decreasing tendency with increasing solid content in the coating precursor. Moreover, solvent resistance and hardness were dramatically enhanced by hybridization of PEDOT and crosslinked WPU due to curing reactions between carboxyl groups.

In a previous report, we demonstrated that poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) derived from poly (ionic liquid) (PEDOT:PIL) constitutes a polymeric hole-injecting material capable of improving device lifetime in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).was attributed to aprotection characteristic of PEDOT:PIL for the indium extraction from ITO electrodes, which frequently occurrs in the OLED device with the conventional PEDOT materials. In this study, we report the OLED device lifetime as well asvice efficiencycan be further improved with the modified PEDOT:PIL in whichorganic compounds are incorporated. The deviced performance will be presented in terms of device lifetime and efficiencies.

Electrochromic materials based on conducting polymers with pendant chromophores as well as their electrochromic properties are described. The conducting polymers described aye polypyrrole, polythiophene, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), poly (cyclopentadithiophene), and poly (1,4-bis [2- (3,4-ethylenedioxy) thienyl] benzene). The chromophores described are viologen and perylenetetra-carboxylic diimide. When the wavelength ranges of absorption of the conducting polymer and the chromophore aye not overlapping, multiple electrochromism was achieved. When the wavelength ranges are largely overlapping, higher contrast was achieved. An easy method for prediction of the film thickness for maximum contrast of a given electrochromic material is also described.
