Tailoring BAYTRON® P [PEDOT/PSS] for the production of highly conductive transparent films.
- Polyethylenedioxythiophene-polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT/PSS, BAYTRON® P) is a versatile, solution-processable inherently conductive polymer useful for making transparent conductive and antistatic films.
- Understanding the basic structural properties of the PEDOT/PSS polymer and its chemical & physical interactions with a variety of coating additives enables end-users to prepare stable, easy-to-use coating dispersions and to optimise coating formulations for specific applications.
- Recent advances in the production of highly conductive PEDOT/PSS dispersions will be discussed and compared to other transparent conductive layers such as indium-tin-oxide (ITO). Examples of applications which use these highly conductive PEDOT/PSS materials in place of ITO will be presented.
