Conductive polymers are a class of materials that combine the properties of traditional polymers with electrical conductivity. Unlike standard plastics, which are insulators, these polymers can conduct electricity due to their unique molecular structure. This makes them useful in various applications, such as in electronic devices, sensors, and batteries. One of the key features of conductive polymers is their flexibility and lightweight nature, which allows for innovative designs in electronics. They can be processed in various forms, including films and fibers, making them suitable for applications in wearable technology and flexible displays. Examples of conductive polymers include polyaniline and polyacetylene.
