Conductive polymers

Conductive polymers are organic polymer semiconductors.

Applications

In some cases, light emission is observed when a voltage is applied to a thin layer of a conductive organic polymer film. It has led to the development of flat panel displays using OLEDs, solar panels and optical amplifiers.

Conductive polymers are present in most mammal tissues where electrical conduction or transduction from light or sound are necessary, including the skin, eye, inner ear, and brain. Its electronic conductivity seems to be the underlying mechanism for absorption of light, and electron-phonon interactions are exploited in hearing http://www.organicsemiconductors.com/.
