Abstract

Polymer matrixes are studied extensively due to their unique chemical and mechanical properties and a wide field of applications. Conducting polymers are utilized as the active materials for solid-state devices viz. batteries, LED and sensors. The present article discusses the application of polythiophene as an active material for energy active devices. In addition, the authors have worked on enhancing the ionic conduction of non-conducting polymers like poly[ethylene oxide]. Solvent diffusion mechanism of non-conducting polymer–salt composite is nonlinear in nature. Swelling tendency of polymer composite can be influenced to physical, chemical and morphological behaviour. Ionic conductivity phenomena of polymer–salt composite are also influenced by the solvent.
