Polyvinyl alcohol as photoluminescent conductive polymer

We synthesized a photoluminescent conductor polymer composed of polyvinyl alcohol, which was doped with nickel chloride to decrease its resistivity (300 Ωcm) and benzalkonium chloride to obtain photoluminescence properties, when it is radiated with a green laser beam (532 nm). We compared its absorbance curve and its energy emitted curve to observe the amount energy that is taken advantage of this process. Besides we research the photoluminescence behavior when an electric currant is applied in our conductor polymer, obtaining a modulation capacity.
