| Research Abstract |
We are considering practicability of the cloth device composed of the fiber that is made from electroconductive polymer. However, the tensile strength of pure PEDOT/PSS fiber was low, and it was unsuitable to the devicing. Then, we examined the possibility of coexisting of a highly conductivity and high strength by the composite fiber of the electroconductive polymer and other polymers(polyvinyl alcohol : PVA). By adding PVA, tensile strength increased to twice that consisted only of PEDOT/PSS. In addition, the electric conductivity also increased from twice to three times though decreasing the composition of conductive polymer. As a result of the Raman spectrum, it is thought that it is because PEDOT was changed into the structure with a high linearity of a molecular chain by adding PVA.
