Abstract: | Polymeric composites were prepared by reticulate doping of poly(γ-methyl-L-glutamate) (PMLGA) and poly(γ-methyl-LD-glutamate) (PMLDGA, 1 : 1) having different conformation forms with 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-TCNQ complex salt. The heat induced α-helix to coil transition in PMLGA and α-helix to β-form and coil transition in PMLDGA were carried out in chlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene at temperatures between 70 and 150°C. The conductivity of polyglutamate composites thermally treated and prepared at 70°C is higher by approximately two orders of magnitude than that of thermally not treated films cast at ambient temperature. The conductivity of the most conductive reticulate-doped PMLGA film is higher by more than four orders of magnitude than that of the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-TCNQ complex salt in pressed pellets. |
