Intrinsic conducting polymers

Intrinsic conducting polymers are a class of organic materials that can conduct electricity on their own, without needing extra doping or additives. Unlike typical plastics, these polymers have a unique molecular structure that allows electrons to move freely along their chains, enabling electrical conductivity. They combine the flexibility and lightweight nature of plastics with electrical properties similar to metals, making them useful in applications like flexible electronics, sensors, and energy storage. Their ability to conduct electricity intrinsically makes them valuable for developing new, lightweight electronic devices.
