The invention provides conducting polymeric interpenetrating network (IPN), and related methods and composition. The conductive surface of polymer of this invention comprises an interpenetrating network of two or more polymers, wherein at least one of the polymer networks is conducting polymer. Also provided is a method of producing a conducting surface on otherwise insulating bulk polymer, combining a first polymeric network with a second polymeric network, wherein the first or second polymeric network is based on a conducting polymer. The conducting surfaces are intended for use in flexible and wearable electronics; in photonics and photovoltaics; signal dissipation and suppression, corrosion protection; ionic and catalytic exchange; electrodes, filters and membranes; finishing textiles, bandages and carpets, healthcare devices, sensors. The present application also discloses devices manufactured from IPN conducting polymers and uses thereof.
