This review discusses the preparation of highly ordered polyacetylene blends and compares forms of polyacetylene obtained by different methodsand includes an analysis of the formation of defects in polyacetylene during growth of the polyene chain and cis-trans isomerisation. The mechanism of acetylene polymerisation with rhenium catalysts, and the reactivity of highly ordered polyacetylene blends to oxidation and doping are also discussed. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.

Author / Editor Details: Dr Kobryanskii has been working in the field of conductive polymers for many years, and is a renowned expert on the subject of polyacetylene. He is based in Moscow, where much of the pioneering work on this topic has been carried out. This review will be of interest to those working to develop conductive polymers.
