A new strategy for building conducting Langmuir-Blodgett films

Abstract

A new strategy for building conducting LB films is presented. The conducting behaviour is obtained by mixing in the same layer amphiphilic and semi-amphiphilic TCNQ derivatives. The optimum conductivity (6.9*10-3 S cm-1) is obtained for hybrid stacks of TCNQ in which the average electronic charge is -0.33.
