Heat stable and electrically conductive complexes of conjugated polymers with forming hydrogen bridge bonds, counterions

摘要

This invention relates to thermally stable electrically conductive conjugated polymer comprising a conjugated polymer cation such as a substituted or unsubstituted polyaniline doped with a dopant anion substituted with one or more polar groups and preferably polar and hydrogen bonding groups such as hydroxy, the polar group having an electronegativity or an electropositivity such that said polar group or groups have a net polar group molar contribution greater than zero.
