Ormecon Research:
Organic Metal Nanotechnology

conductive polymers, polyaniline, PCB, solderable surface finish, anti-corrosion coating, Organic Metal

Ormecon Chemie (have a look at our factory...) - is one of the very few small companies in the world with a continous long-term basic research. Before Ormecon's foundation as 100% subsidiary of the Zipperling Kessler Holding, this research was performed at Zipperling. Our research history in nanotechnology with conductive polymers (Organic Metals) and especially polyaniline (poly-phenylene amine) is well above 20 years.

Here the latest news from our research and an overview covering our publications:

A review article by Dr. Wessling "From conductive polymers to organic metals" in the January 2001 issue of "Chemical Innovation" (an ACS magazine) with an introduction to this new field of Nanotechnology

Ormecon and its research partners presented 6 papers on the ICSM 2000

Ormecon found the first proof for ORMECON polyaniline having crossed the "Insulator-to-Metal transition"

Literature:

Basic paper (published in: Handbook of nanostructured Materials and Nanotechology, E. Nalwa, ed., Academic press 1999, vol. 5):

Can conductive polymers (organic metals) form true solutions?

Or do they form complicate dispersions?
(this topic is part of chapter 10 in the handbook, p. 501 - 575)
Take a look into this paper here in the web.
You are welcome to discuss it.

This text also contains a critical review on applications of conductive polymers/Organic Metals and the discussion of "solution or dispersion?" in a more compressed way: Dispersion as the link between Basic Research and Commercial Applications of Conductive Polymers (Polyaniline) with a contribution to the question: „Can Conductive Polymers principally be soluble?"

Method for predicting corrosion performance of coatings

(Electrochimica Acta, 44, (12),
p. 2139 - 2147)
