Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI), Tohoku University and University of Yamanashi have discovered the nanometer-size crystallization of PEDOT in the PEDOT:PSS film, which is a conductive polymer material attracting attention as an organic electronic material for the next generation, at the first time in the world. This achievement has revealed that the high conductivity originates from the hierarchical polymeric molecular structure of the nanocrystal, and has showed the new guidelines for conductive polymer film production.
