Abstract

Through electrical conductivity and ESR measurements of heat treated BBB‐rigid‐rod ladder polymers, we provide evidence for the existence of an irreversible transformation to another cross‐linked ladder polymer with high intrinsic conductivity. The transformation occurs at a pyrolysis temperature, Tp ≅ 680°C. The results suggest a novel transport mechanism.
