CONDUCTING POLYMER, DEFINITION, SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

Since their discovery, electrically conductive polymers have advanced tremendously because oxidizing and reducing chemicals cause insulating organic polymers to become significantly more conductive. The manuscript describes various conductive polymer(CPs) kinds, their characteristics, and manufacturing processes. It also briefly describes the primary applications. When large quantities of the polymer are required, chemical synthesis is ideal since it offers the most common commercial route to making electrically conductive polymers. However, the electrochemical structure has advantages. Because the conductive polymeric material is created at the anode when a positive voltage is given, it promotes purity and eliminates the need for oxidizers. The polymer is put on an electrode, however, which makes subsequent electrochemical analysis easier. This article seeks to outline key elements of the electrochemical synthesis of electrically conducting polymers in light of the current state of study in the field. The effectiveness of applying polymers in various industries greatly depends on how well their behavior and characteristics are understood. These polymers could be manufactured using chemical and electrochemical processes.
