Conducting and semiconducting (conjugated) polymers have a unique
set of properties, combining the electronic properties of metals
and semiconductors with the processing advantages and mechanical
properties of polymers. Now, thirty-five years after their
discovery, metallic conducting polymers have been demonstrated in
the laboratory to have electrical conductivities approaching that
of copper, and mechanical strengths exceeding that of steel, a
remarkable achievement. A wide variety of electrical and optical
devices have been demonstrated using semiconducting polymers.
Light-emitting devices have been made which are as bright as
fluorescent lamps at applied voltages of only a few volts;
photovoltaic solar energy conversion using conjugated polymer
composites is in industrial production; conjugated polymer
transistors, circuits and chips have been demonstrated. Indeed,
semiconducting and metallic polymers can be thought of as
electronic 'inks'. The advances in printing technology (ink-jet
printing, off-set printing, etc) combined with the science and
technology of conducting polymers will revolutionize the way in
which electronic devices are manufactured. In addition,
semiconducting and metallic polymers can be used in applications
which require special mechanical properties such as flexibility.
The field of semiconducting and conducting polymers has become one
of the most attractive areas of interdisciplinary materials science
and technology. Ranging from physics, chemistry, electrical and
electronic engineering to the optical sciences, this field covers a
wide range of competences and interdisciplinary knowledge.
