How is your process different from other methods for making water processable conducting polymers?
Processable conducting polymers are commonly made through two methods. One is the use of the 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene to make Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The monomer used to make PEDOT is considerably more expensive than the monomer for many other conducting polymers. Another method commonly uses polystyrenesulfonic acid (PSSA or PSS) during the synthesis to create small particles of conducting polymer stabilized by the polymeric surfactant. Our nanofiber formulations do not require PSS for the synthesis allowing broader development and optimization with different dopants for composites and film applications.
