Abstract:
A composition of matter comprising a crosslinked conjugated electrically conducive polymer, wherein said electrically conductive polymer comprises a polyacid selected from the group consisting of poly(acrylic acid), poly (methacrylic acid), poly (styrenesulfonic acid), poly (vinylsulfonic acid), poly (styrene boric acid), poly (vinyl boric acid), poly (vinyl sulfuric acid), poly (styrene phosphoric acid), poly (vinyl phosphoric acid), poly (styrene phosphonic acid) and poly (vinyl phosphonic acid), and a polymer comprising at least one conjugated region composed of repeating units which contain a conjugated basic atom, wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted homopolymers and copolymers of aniline, thiophene, pyrrole and p-phenylene sulfide, wherein the number of acid groups in said polyacid exceed the number of protonatable basic atoms in said polymer, said composition of matter being crosslinked through crosslinkable constituents on said composition of matter.
