Conductive polymers and its types, conductive polymers being used for practical use.

1. Conductive Polymers
Presented By Zeeshan Ali Khan

2. What are Conductive Polymers ?
Conducting Polymers are intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs)
are organic polymers that conduct electricity.

3. Polypyrrole
It is formed by the
polymerization of pyrrole
• PPy is an insulator, but its
oxidized derivatives are good
electrical conductors.
• Doping the polymer requires
that the material swell to
accommodate the charge-
compensating anions

4. Polypyrrole’s
Applications
• Bluetooth Technology
such as Bluetooth
Speakers
• Super Capacitors such
as Fast Chargers

5. Polythiophene
Polythiophenes (PTs) are
polymerized thiophenes, a
sulphur heterocycle
• Doping is performed at
much higher levels (20–
40%) in conducting
polymers than in
semiconductors (<1%).

6. Polythiophene’s
Applications
• AGFA coats 200 m × 10 m
of photographic film per
year with PEDOT
• PEDOT-coated windows
and mirrors become
opaque or reflective upon
the application of an
electric potential

7. Polyfluorene
They are currently being
investigated for use in light-
emitting diodes, field-effect
transistors, and plastic solar
cells
• Polyfluorenes are an
important class of
polymers which have the
potential to act as both
electroactive and
photoactive materials.

8. Polyfluorene’s
Applications
• Polyfluorene
homopolymers emit
higher energy blue light,
they can transfer energy
via Forster resonance
energy transfer (FRET) to
lower energy emitters.
• Polyfluorenes are also
used in polymer solar cells
because of their affinity for
property tuning.
