Extractions: 10 October 2000 Heeger MacDiarmid and Shirakawa made their breakthrough in the late 1970s, when they discovered that the electrical conductivity of a certain form of polyacetylene increased by a factor of ten million when it was doped with iodine. Subsequent developments have produced diverse applications for the technology: conductive plastics are used in anti-static materials, filters for blocking the radiation produced by computer screens, and electronic windows that can switch light transmission on and off. Semiconducting polymers have also been incorporated into light-emitting diodes, solar cells and displays. Future research on plastic conductors, which is closely linked to molecular electronics, is likely to yield ever-smaller electronic components - and an accompanying increase in the speed of our computers.

MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa each hold U.S. patents for the work for which they were honored with the 2000 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. There are two main patents that deal with this Nobel prize-winning work. Heeger, MacDiarmid, and Shirakawa are co-inventors on patent #4,222,903 for p-type doping of polyacetylene. Heeger and MacDiarmid are also co-inventors on patent #4,204,216, which is for n-type doping of polyacetylene. The work covered in these patents helped to lay the groundwork for their study of electrical conductivity in plastics. This discovery led to improvements in film, television screens and windows, and one day may lead to thinner computer screens and smaller molecular computers. These patents, as well as all patents issued since the first one in 1790, can be viewed on USPTO's web site

Extractions: HPS Home Alan MacDiarmid Our most recent entry into the Nobel pantheon is chemist Alan MacDiarmid. Born in 1927 in Masterton, he survived ill health and the Great Depression in his early years. He acquired a taste for chemistry early on too, making fireworks at a time when few people had any and getting a job a lab assistant at Victoria University in Wellington. By 1951 he had graduated with a first class honours degree from Vic and went to the University of Wisconsin on a Fullbright Scholarship to study inorganic chemistry. From there he wound up at the University of Pennsylvania, via short stops in Cambridge and St. Andrews, and it was here that he began investigating conducting polymers with Alan Heeger . The work really took off when they met Hideki Shirakawa in Japan. One of his students had made an unusual substance out of acetylene. Instead of a black powder, the student had made a shiny film, looking somewhat metallic. Together they investigated further finding that this polymer owed its metal-like appearance to its ability to conduct electricity like a metal due to impurities within the polymer structure from the catalyst used in the original reaction. By altering the amount and nature of this "doping" agent they found it possible to alter the conductivity of the polymer. Not only was it able to conduct electricity but doped polyacetylene was found to be able to store it and so act as a battery.

Extractions: December 2000 Edition The 2000 Physics Nobel Prize recognizes the vital role of physics in the information technology revolution. Half the prize will be awarded this month to Zhores I. Alferov of the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia and Herbert Kroemer of the University of California at Santa Barbara for their early work in such areas as the design of heterostructures, semiconductor lasers, epitaxial growth techniques, and optoelectronics. The other half of the prize will be awarded to Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments, one of the pioneers in producing integrated circuits. Tiny transistors replaced vacuum tubes as a means of performing the important tasks of switching and amplifying in electronic circuits, but it wasn't until many transistors and other elements could be wired up in a small space that today's information revolution could begin. Integration and miniaturization not only led to more efficient packaging but also to quicker processing since signals travel shorter paths. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Alan J. Heeger (University of California, Santa Barbara), Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania), and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba, Japan) for discovering that plastics polymers, modified in certain ways, can conduct electricity very well. From Saran wrap to foam cups, polymers are normally insulating materials, but in the 1970s, Shirakawa, finding a new way to make the polymer polyacetylene, accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst. He produced a silvery film, which he later presented in 1977 to Heeger and MacDiarmid, who had been investigating the possibility of "synthetic metals."

Back to Physics News Update The Nobel Prize in Chemistry The 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Alan J. Heeger (UC-Santa Barbara), Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania), and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba, Japan) for discovering that plastics, modified in certain ways, can conduct electricity very well. Plastics are polymers, long chainlike molecules composed of simpler units known as monomers. From Saran wrap to foam cups, polymers are normally insulating materials. But in the 1970s, Shirakawa, finding a new way to make the polymer polyacetylene, accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst. He produced a silvery film, which he later presented in 1977 to Heeger and MacDiarmid, who had been investigating the possibility of "synthetic metals." The three studied the properties of the material. When they added iodine, the polymer's electrical conductivity shot up by several million times. The result was a whole new fieldconducting polymerswhich has led to plastic versions of many electronic devices, such as light emitting diodes. Compared to inorganic materials, plastics are more flexible and potentially cheaper and easier to manufacture. In addition, the discovery of conducting polymers provides a foundation for the development of molecular computers, in which electrically conducting molecules act as the building blocks of computing devices.

Extractions: National Desk By KENNETH CHANG The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded yesterday to three scientists who created a plastic that conducts electricity like a metal, a discovery that has opened up a new field of carbon-based electronics. The prize of about $913,000 will be shared by Dr. Alan J. Heeger, 64, of the University of California at Santa Barbara; Dr. Alan G. MacDiarmid, 73, of the University of Pennsylvania; and Dr. Hideki Shirakawa, 64, of the University of Tsukuba in Japan. The technology is already used to make antistatic coating on photographic film and is expected over the next few years to find its way to bright, low-energy displays in cell phones and other hand-held electronics. ''I thought this was a very nice recognition for the field,'' said Dr. MacDiarmid, a native of New Zealand. Plastics are made of an entwined mesh of long molecules called polymers, each with a central strand of carbon atoms. Polymers generally do not conduct electricity, which is why metal wires are wrapped with plastic insulating sheaths to prevent short circuits. Illustrating the sometimes serendipitous path of science, the discovery of plastic conductors began with a mistake and was nudged forward by an opportune coffee break.
