Conducting polymer fibers

Other Methods for Fabricating of Inherently Conducting Polymer Fibers and Fabrics... 

Wearable biomedical devices may also be realized by integration of conducting polymer fibers. The production of stand-alone ICP fibers is at present limited to polyaniline [42]. The high concentration...

The electrospun fiber mats possess a high surface area per unit mass, low bulk density, and high mechanical flexibihty. These features make these materials very attractive for a wide range of potential applications, as mentioned above. Among them, the use of electrospun polymer fibers for electronic applications is of particular interest. The high surface-to-volume ratio associated with electrospun conducting polymer fibers makes them excellent candidates for electrode materials since the rate of electrochemical reaction is proportional to the surface area of an electrode and diffusion rate of the electrolyte.
