This book is focused on the general ideas regarding conducting polymers. A general introduction to conducting polymers and its electrical properties has been given in this book. Various types of conducting polymers and the applications of these polymers are also depicted. Doping and the conduction mechanisms are explained in detail in this book. This book may definitely help the young researchers those who put step forward in the field of conducting polymers. More stress has been given about the popular conducting polymer Polyaniline and some of the experimental results are also shown in the...

Thermoplastic elastomeric blends of Polystyrene (PS) and Exudated Resin (ER) are prepared by solution casting technique. The nature of solvent diffusion through the prepared blends of Exudated Resin and Polystyrene of different compositions are studied at various temperatures. Swelling experiment has been conducted in benzene as the solvent to investigate the solvent resistance properties of these blends. The important parameters such as diffusion, sorption and permeation coefficients are calculated and the effect of blend ratio on these parameters is also studied. The activation energies of...
