| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed the preparation method of polymer composites by making the most of the unique properties of syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) known to have some crystalline phases with regular cavities and tend to transform the crystalline forms by getting immersed in some solvent liquids or exposed to vapor of organic compounds. We finally discovered the ways of arranging several crystal units with a channeling cavity in SPS films to be parallel to the direction of the film thickness with a high regularity. By using these SPS films, we succeeded to prepare the SPS composites with electrically conductive polymers or organometallic complexes. For example, we introduced aniline molecules to these oriented cavities and successfully polymerized them to polyaniline. This is the mild and intelligent way of preparing polymer composites where the orientation and arrangements of the polymers/ guest compounds in SPS are highly controlled.
