A general approach for the encapsulation of a variety of saturated polymers between the layers of MoS2 giving electrically conductive lamellar compounds is reported.

Protonated emeraldine [poly(aniline)] has been encapsulated in MoO3 by first inserting aniline into its lattice followed by successful polymerization with (NH4)2S2O8; the new material is characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and charge transport measuremen...

A new family of materials based on layered transition metal dichalcogenides of the type [M'(x)Q(y)L(z)](n)[MoS2] (Q = S, Se, Te) was prepared as a first step toward pillared layered sulfides. The new intercalated phases form from the addition of Co(6)Q(8)(PR(3))(6) solutions to exfoliated suspension...

Intercalation compounds of polyethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, poly[oxymethylene-(oxyethylene)] and poly[oligo(ethylene glycol oxalate)] into graphite oxide (GO) have been synthesized. The forces of attraction between the polymers and GO are primarily dipole?dipole and/or hyd...

In this paper we report on the electrical characterization of conductive polyaniline and its derivatives. Conductivity measurements were also performed on the intercalated phases formed by the encapsulation of the polymers into layered molybdenum disulfide. These measurements were performed using th...

Intercalation compounds of pyrene and 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid into MoS2 have been synthesized and characterized. This was achieved by using the exfoliation/re-stacking properties of LiMoS2. The degree of intercalation was found to be dependent on the amount of guest species used, the re...
