Abstract

Ion implantation has been used to modify the organic semiconducting polymer, polyacetylene, (CH)x, and the semimetal, graphite, Cx. Implantation results in the formation of a unique polymer-fluorine interaction. This interaction leads to increased conductivity. The implantation also made the “doped” (CH)x resistant to the usual air oxidation which normally occurs with the conventionally doped polymers.
