Abstract

A carbon film was produced from polyphenylene (PP) film prepared by electrochemical polymerization of benzene to obtain a uniform and thin film. The PP film (∼10μm thick) was transformed into the carbon or graphite film without drastic changes of shape or size. The electrical conductivity of the film was remarkably enhanced by heat-treatment between 600 and 800° C, but further increase in the conductivity was not observed by treating at higher temperatures. This behaviour is considered to correlate with a poor degree of graphitization of the PP film. The carbonization and graphitization mechanisms of the film are discussed in connection with the structure of polyphenylene in the film.
