Abstract

A route to kinetically stable interfaces between dissimilarly doped conjugated polymers is proposed. The route relies on the use of internally compensated conjugated polymers to kinetically control interfacial redox chemistry. As a demonstration of the feasibility of the proposed route, the enhanced stability of an interface between an oxidatively doped, internally compensated poly(acetylene) and an undoped poly(acetylene) is reported.
