Description
Summary:In this study, commercially available polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used to produce electrically conductive PET-based film. A thin layer of polythiophene (PT) film was successfully deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by using simple successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The polythiophene film deposited on PET was optimized by adjusting the monomer/oxidant molar ratio and relative thickness. The surface morphology and chemical composition of deposited polythiophene film was characterized by SEM, FTIR and EDX. The highest conductivity, 17.905×10-6 S/cm of polythiophene film achieved at monomer/oxidant of 1:3 and 23.871×10-6 S/cm during fourth coating.
