HIGH ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYANILINE COMPLEXES HAVING POLAR OR POLAR AND HYDROGEN BONDING SUBSTITUENTS

摘要

This invention relates to thermally stable electrically conductive conjugate d polymer comprising a conjugated polymer ca- tion such as a substituted or unsubstituted polyaniline doped with a dopant anion substituted with one or more polar groups and preferably polar and hydrogen bonding groups such as hydroxy, the polar grou p having an electronegativity or an electropositivi- ty such that said polar group or groups have a net polar group molar contribution greater than zero.
