Syntéza a studium vlastností polythiofenu

Abstract

In this bachelor's thesis, the properties and preparation of the electrically conductive polymer polythiophene and its composite with the clay mineral montmorillonite are studied. The thesis is divided into three main parts. The first, theoretical part describes the history, properties, and applications of polythiophene, other conductive polymers, and phyllosilicates, including montmorillonite. The second, practical part describes the preparation of polythiophene, its composite with montmorillonite, and the methods used for the analysis of the prepared samples. These methods include conductivity measurement, X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy.
