Faculty Directory ALAN G. MACDIARMID Professor of Chemistry DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH INTERESTS: My research is directed to the study of conducting polymers, more commonly known as "synthetic metals". They are organic polymers that possess the electrical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties of a metal while retaining the mechanical properties, processibility etc., commonly associated with a conventional polymer. Their properties are intrinsic to a "doped" form of the polymer. The concept of doping is the unique, central characteristic which distinguishes conducting polymers from all other types of polymers. During the doping process, an organic polymer, either an insulator or semiconductor having a small conductivity, typically in the range of 10P10 to 10P5 S/cm, is converted to a polymer which is in the "metallic" regime (~1 to ~104 S/cm). The controlled addition of known, usually small ( <10%) and non-stoichiometric quantities of chemical species results in dramatic changes in the electronic, electrical, magnetic, optical and structural properties of the polymer. Doping is reversible to produce the original polymer with little or no degradation of the polymer backbone. Both doping and undoping processes, involving dopant counter ions which stabilize the doped state, may be carried out chemically or electrochemically. Since the discovery of conducting polymers at Penn in the mid-seventies, the field has expanded extremely rapidly world-wide. This has resulted both from the interdisciplinary nature of the field chemistry, electrochemistry, physics, electrical/electronic engineering and from the rapidly expanding technological interest in the field.

MacDiarmid, shown in an undated file photo, shares the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with two collaborators. By Deborah Scoblionkov REUTERS Alan G. MacDiarmid, who won the 2000 Nobel Prize for Chemistry today for developing polymer plastics that conduct electricity, likened his winning the award to gambling. "One always fantasizes. ... It's the same as going to a casino and hoping to win, but one never really expects one's fantasy to materialize," said MacDiarmid, 73, a chemistry professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He said that when he first heard the news from a colleague, who had seen it on the Internet, he didn't believe it. "My first reaction was that it was a hoax. I couldn't quite believe it," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.

The area has also yielded important practical applications. Conductive plastics are used in, or being developed industrially for, e.g. anti-static substances for photographic film, shields for computer screen against electromagnetic radiation and for "smart" windows (that can exclude sunlight). In addition, semi-conductive polymers have recently been developed in light-emitting diodes, solar cells and as displays in mobile telephones and mini-format television screens.

Electrifying discoveries This year's science Nobel prizes have been awarded for practical discoveries that led to new drugs and semiconductor electronics in the late 20th century - and polymers that look set to revolutionise electronics again in the 21st century. Richard Stevenson reports In 1975, the story goes, Alan MacDiarmid gave a lecture in Japan. Proudly, he showed the audience a piece of gold-coloured polymer that he had made. People had got used to plastics being non-metallic insulators, but this one was different: an (SN) x compound, it looked like a metal, and at low temperatures it acted like a semiconductor. In the audience was Hideki Shirakawa, who topped MacDiarmid's example with his own: a silver-coloured polyacetylene. This also looked metallic, but it was a real, carbon-based organic polymer, and it was (by the standards of other plastics) moderately conducting. Polyacetylene had previously been prepared (by Natta, amongst others) as a rather useless black powder, but Shirakawa had discovered how to make well-defined film by reacting acetylene on the surface of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. As a conjugated polymer, the film had plenty of delocalised electrons; could they make it conduct electricity like a real metal?

The work by winners Alan J. Heeger , Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa has spurred improvements in film, TV screens and windows and could eventually lead to a host of new technologies, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. ``The physics prizes are about the electronics of today and the chemistry prizes are about the electronics of the future,'' academy member Per Ahlberg said. In physics, Zhores I. Alferov of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer , a German-born researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara , will share half the prize for work in developing technology used in satellite communications and cellular phones.
