Doping, conductivity and

In fact, most of these so-called soluble conductive polymers are not conductive, but the authors refer only to the neutral, insulating base form of a doped conducting and insoluble form (e.g., polyalkylthiophenes). Only a few doped and really conductive polymers were reported to be soluble. On the other hand, dispersions in various solvents and polymers that look like solutions could be prepared using almost any kind of ICP powder polymerized in a proper way, in either doped or neutral form [36]. 

In the area of molecular technology, a switch based on two orthogonaUy fused polymer chains, one doped (conductive) and the other tmdoped (insulating) has been proposed, and an oUgomer has been synthesiz Many tasks remain here, such as incorporation of this unit into a device of molecular dimensions and discovering a way to actively switch the unit...
