Generally speaking, polymers are insulators. However there is a special class of polymers – the intrinsically conductive polymers – that have conductivity levels between those of semiconductors and metals (up to 102 - 103 S/cm) The combination of metallic and polymeric properties opens completely new opportunities in numerous applications, particularly in the electronics industry, which were previously not possible. |
