conductive polymers
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 flexible electronics, sensors, and energy storage devices.
These materials can be synthesized through chemical or electrochemical processes, allowing for customization of their electrical properties. Examples of conductive polymers include polyaniline and polyacetylene. Their versatility and lightweight nature make them attractive for use in emerging technologies, including organic solar cells and wearable electronics.
