Self-doped conducting polymers thermal properties

The discovery of self-doped polyanilines was a major breakthrough in the field of conducting polymers due to their desirable properties such as water solubility, pH and temperature independent conductivity, redox activity over a wider pH range and thermal and environmental stability. These polymers can be prepared chemically and electrochemically by various methods discussed in the above sections 2.2-2A. The distinctive properties of self-doped sulfonated polyanilines are discussed in this section.
