Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing polythiophene star copolymer capable of being self-doped by an external stimulus, which includes the steps of: forming a polythiophene macroinitiator made by introducing a living radical polymerizable functional group into an end of polythiophene or a derivative thereof; forming through living radical polymerization a polymer macroinitiator for providing by an external stimulus at least a dopant selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acid radical, carboxylic acid radical and phosphoric acid radical; and polymerizing the polythiophene macroinitiator added with the polymer macroinitiator and at least one kind of divinyl monomer to produce the polythiophene star copolymer. The polythiophene star copolymer capable of being self-doped by an external stimulus according to the present invention is a self-doped material to stably increase conductivity, and can be used as a material for a conductive film.

Abstract:
Provided are a CNT-polymer complex and a process for preparing the same. The CNT-polymer complex includes carbon nanotubes (CNT) coated with a block copolymer of a conjugated polymer and a non-conjugated polymer, wherein the non-conjugated polymer comprises at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, butadiene, isoprene, methacryl, acryl, acryl amide, methacryl amide, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinyl pyridine and vinyl pyrrolidone in which at least one selected from the group consisting of a sulfone group, carboxyl group, acryl group and phosphate group is protected with a protective group, and provides at least one dopant selected from the group consisting of a sulfone group, carboxyl group, acryl group and phosphate group by external stimuli so that self-doping is allowed; and the complex is soluble to an organic solvent in a neutral state but is insoluble to any solvent after subjecting it to external stimuli.
