Abstract

Abstract Conducting polymer films comprising a polymer matrix with intercalated, bonded conducting polymers, prepared from a polysaccharide matrix and the monomer of conducting polymer, are useful as anti-static materials, optical filters, solid electrolytes, electrodes and electrochemical sensors. The conducting polymers are polyheterocycles such as polyaniline, polythiophene and their derivatives.
