Conducting polymer fibers applications

Applications of Electrically Conductive Inherently Conducting Polymer Fibers and Fabrics... 

Describes conducting polymer fiber production and its applications in smart fabrics and interactive textiles... 

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.
