Facile preparation of composites composed of high performance thermoplastic and difficult-to-process functional polymer

Abstract

A facile method is reported to prepare new polymer composites by introducing functional polymer (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) into a melt-processed film of a thermoplastic polymer matrix with a high melting-temperature (syndiotactic polystyrene), which benefits the applications of functional polymers which are difficult to process and vulnerable to high temperatures.
