Synthesis,Characterization and Electrical Conductivity of Polyesters Containing Azomethine Linkages

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of some polyesters containing azomethine linkages are reported here. The electrical conductivity of these polyesters is measured and the results are explained with simple Pariser-Parr-Pople calculations. The polymers are doped with Ag and the electrical conductivity of most of the doped polymers is found to register significant increase. Attempts are made to explain this increase in electrical conductivity.
