Abstract
The invention relates to polymer filaments and methods for their production. In particular, although not exclusively, the invention relates to conducting polymer filaments and their production from solutions of polymerisable oxidizable monomer units.
Claims28
A method of electrospinning including the use of a solution including:
- a. a first polymerisable oxidizable monomer;
- b. an oxidant;
- and
- c. at least one solvent component;
- where the at least one solvent component is present at a concentration sufficient substantially to inhibit oxidation of the monomer by the oxidant.
A polymer filament of polypyrrole or poly (3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT).
A polymer filament of polypyrrole.
A polymer filament that is a blend of polypyrrole and polyethylene oxide (PEO) or poly (3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polyethylene oxide (PEO).
