Conductive polymers are polymers that can conduct electricity. They are typically made by adding a conductive agent, such as carbon, to a polymer. Conductive polymers are used in a variety of applications, including electronics, batteries, and sensors.
Some of the emerging trends in conductive polymers include the use of graphene and other 2D materials for transparent conductive electrodes, the use of nanostructured conducting polymers for flexible electronics, and the use of conducting polymers for energy storage applications.
