# Synthesis and Mechanism of Conduction in Conducting Polymers Conducting polymers are a special class of organic polymers that possess electrical conductivity while retaining many of the useful characteristics of conventional polymers, such as low density, flexibility, ease of processing, and chemical versatility. Unlike ordinary polymers, which generally act as electrical insulators because their valence electrons are localized in covalent bonds, conducting polymers contain an extended conjugated π-electron system along their polymer backbones. Important examples include polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and poly(phenylene). Their electrical conductivity arises mainly from the presence of delocalized electrons and, in most cases, from oxidation or reduction processes known as doping. The synthesis of conducting polymers can be carried out by several methods, but chemical oxidative polymerization and electrochemical polymerization are particularly important. The nature of the monomer, oxidizing agent, solvent, temperature, and doping conditions strongly influences the structure and conductivity of the resulting polymer. In chemical oxidative polymerization, a suitable monomer containing a conjugated structure is polymerized in the presence of an oxidizing agent. For example, aniline can be oxidatively polymerized to form polyaniline. Common oxidants include ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, ferric chloride, and related oxidizing agents. The reaction is generally performed in an acidic aqueous medium. Initially, the aniline monomer undergoes oxidation to form a radical cation. These reactive species couple with other oxidized monomer species, followed by deprotonation and further oxidation.
