Abstract
Compositions are provided comprising at least one conductive polymer and at least one non-polymeric fluorinated organic acid, wherein the conductive polymer is selected from a polythiophene, a polypyrrole, a polyaniline, and combinations thereof. Electronic devices and applications having at least one layer comprising such compositions are further provided.
Claims13
A composition comprising at least one conductive polymer and at least one non-polymeric fluorinated organic acid, wherein the conductive polymer is selected from a polythiophene, a polypyrrole, a polyaniline, and combinations thereof;
- wherein said non-polymeric fluorinated organic acid comprises at least one of fluoroamido organic acids having the following general formula,
- R5—C(O)N(R6)R4—Q,
- and fluoroamidoether organic acids having the following general formula,
- R5—C(O)N(R6)R4—O—R4—Q,
- wherein R4 is an alkylene group, R5 is an alkyl group, R6 is hydrogen or an alkyl group, and are the same or different at each occurrence,
- Q is selected from —SO3Z, —CO2Z, and —PO3Z,
- Z is H, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, N(R5)4, or R5,
- any of R4, R5 and R6 may, independently, be unsubstituted or substituted, and
- the prefix “fluoro” means that at least one hydrogen of R4, R5 or R6 has been replaced by fluorine, and includes partially fluorinated and perfluorinated.
