Abstract
A simple, economical and high yielding method to prepare poly(1,4‐dihexyloxybenzene), an alkylated derivative of poly(para‐phenylene) (PPP), is reported. We further prepared a composite of poly(1,4‐dihexyloxybenzene) and CdS nanoparticles and studied their structural, optical, stability and transport properties. It was observed that the conductivity of poly(1,4‐dihexyloxybenzene) increased by several orders of magnitude when doped with CdS nanoparticles. Similarly, CdS nanoparticle‐doped PPP showed higher thermal stability, when compared to the neat polymer. As these composites could be processed in the same way as organic polymers, they would find applications in many low‐cost optoelectronic devices.
