Synthesis, identification and study of electrical conductivity of the doped copolymer carbazole–phenol formaldehyde

The copolymer carbazole–phenol formaldehyde doped with 4 (4-hydroxy-phenyl azo)-benzene sulfonic acid (PABS), 2,5-dimethyl benzene sulfonic acid (PXSA) and 4-hydroxy-m-benzene disulfonic acid (PDSA) were prepared. These compounds are identified by FT-IR spectroscopy.The conductivity of copolymer carbazole–phenol formaldehyde doped with 4 (4-hydroxy-phenyl azo)-benzene sulfonic acid (PABS), 2,5-dimethyl benzene sulfonic acid (PXSA) and 4-hydroxy-m-benzene disulfonic acid (PDSA) was studied as a function of weight of the dopant compounds; an increase of conductance of the copolymer by doping with PABS is noted; the conductance became equal to 0.000595 ohm−1 for 0.1 g higher conductance for the copolymer when it is doping with PABS.
