Polyfuran films are prepared electrochemically and found to exhibit electrical and optical properties similar to those of polythiophene and polypyrrole, though the electrical conductivity in a doped state is little lower than the latter two polymers. The resistivity of polyfuran is found to be very sensitive to humidity and its application as a sensor of humidity is proposed.
