ResumoThe conducting polymer field has continued its rapid expansion during the past 10 years since the discovery that an organic polymer, polyacetylene, could be doped to the metallic regime. A number of new conducting polymers have since been synthesized and many chemical, structural and physical studies have helped in elucidating the doping processes and electronic and magnetic properties of these materials; however, an adequate understanding of many fundamental phenomena will only be attained by further research. Such understanding will be assisted by the synthesis and study of new types of conducting polymers and composites. The first significant signs of technological applications of these polymers now appearing are expected to stimulate even more basic and applied research in this field in the future.
