β¦ Synopsis
Recent studies have shown that the electrical conductivity of certain organic polymer films change when the films are exposed to organic vapors. Here, results using polymers that conduct via redox hopping and conjugated polymers such as polyaniline are emphasized. In these cases extremely large vapor-induced increases in conductivity, up to a factor of 10 6 , have been measured. These vapoconductivity effects result in part from morphological changes, especially plasticization. The results are of interest for the development of sensors.

## Abstract In this work conductive composites consisting of carbon black (CB) and poly(ethylene oxide) were prepared by solution mixing. The composites' resistance drastically changes in organic vapors so that the composites can be used as candidates for gasβsensing materials. Owing to the differe
Immersion experiments with Aflas (I), poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-propylene), and Fluorel (II) [poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-perfluoropropylene)], showed greater swelling of I in nonpolar liquids and much higher swelling of II in polar liquids: over 100% (wt/wt) in two ketones and a phosphate ester.
This paper presents resistivity data for a range of surface-grafted and copolymerized polymers and some challenges yet to be faced in resolving the effects of surface modification on their surface properties, in particular on electrical resistivity in their surface regions. The principal substrates
