Reticulate doped polymer

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010296",
  "term": "Reticulate doped polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A composite in which a small-molecule organic conductor is crystallized as a fine network on the surface of a polymer substrate that is itself insulating or semiconducting, so that electrical conduction is confined to the surface layer. The polymer remains the mechanical carrier of the material. Unlike a redox-doped conjugated polymer, the polymer itself is not made conductive, and the conducting phase is a separate crystalline network.",
