oxidative doping
reductive doping
The doped polymer is thus a salt. However, it is not the counter ions, I 3 or Na+,
but the charges on the polymer that are the mobile charge carriers.
By applying an electric field perpendicular to the film, the counter ions can be
made to diffuse from or into the structure, causing the doping reaction to
proceed backwards or forwards. In this way the conductivity can be switched
off or on.
