Claim 17:
18. A method for producing an electrically conductive polymer, comprising:
mixing an oxidant and a solvent to form a solid oxidant-solvent complex; and
polymerizing electron donating aromatic monomers in the presence of the solid oxidant-solvent complex to form the electrically conductive polymer,
wherein the electrically conductive polymer comprises the electron donating aromatic monomers, the oxidant, and a hydrogen-bondable aromatic additive comprising a hydrogen-bondable moiety, wherein a molar ratio of the electron donating aromatic monomers to the hydrogen-bondable aromatic additive is greater than or equal to 100:1 and less than or equal to 100:10, and
wherein the oxidant comprises iron or an iron derivative and the solvent is selected from the group consisting of acetonitrile, carbonate, benzene, water, dichloromethane, chloroform, mixtures thereof, and derivatives thereof.
