Polymerization of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) on Sulfated Cellulose Nanofiber and Its Conducting Property.

ABSTRACT: Recent research on incorporating biomass resources into functional polymers has garnered significant attention. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is the most commercially successful conducting polymer composed of over 70 wt% petroleum-derived PSS, which presents an opportunity for partial replacement with biomass-based resources. In this study, a complex of PEDOT and sulfated cellulose nanofiber (PEDOT:s-CNF) was synthesized, and the relationship between its conductivity and doping conditions was investigated. PEDOT was synthesized on s-CNF, which was used in place of PSS, and the results indicate that conductivity increases as PEDOT polymerization progresses; however, excessive polymerization reduces electrical conductivity.
