His best-known research was the discovery and development of conductive polymers - plastic materials that conduct electricity.
The following table presents some organic conductive polymers according to their composition.
The band structures of conductive polymers can easily be calculated with a tight binding model.
Due to their poor processability, conductive polymers have few large-scale applications.
Typical conductive polymers must be "doped" to produce high conductivity.
The resulting conductive polymer are peeled off of the anode.
He holds a series of patents on electrically conductive polymers.
It is used as a transparent, conductive polymer with high ductility in different applications.
However, it is unlikely that n-doped conductive polymers are available commercially.
But the somewhat accidental discovery of conductive polymers in the late 1970's offered the potential for a much more viable system.
