Abstract
This study reports that cis-1,4-polybutadiene can be converted into a semiconductor when doped with iodine. The conductivity achieved by iodine doping was about 10(-6) S/cm. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Temperature dependence of electrical conductivity exhibits a semiconductor behavior.
