An organic conductive polymer is an organic polymer that conducts electricity, combining the flexibility of plastic with the electrical properties of metals. These materials feature conjugated structures with alternating single and double bonds, creating delocalized pi electrons that enable electrical conductivity. Key examples include polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy), and they are used in flexible electronics, sensors, solar cells, and biomedical applications like tissue engineering and drug delivery.
Applications
- Flexible Electronics:.Used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells, and sensors.
- Biomedical Devices:.Employed in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and biosensors due to their biocompatibility.
- Energy Storage:.Applied in supercapacitors and batteries due to their high electrical conductivity and light weight.
