Patent ID: 7354532

Claim:
A composition comprising at least one conductive polymer and at least one non-polymeric fluorinated organic acid, wherein the conductive polymer is selected from a polythiophene, a polypyrrole, a polyaniline, and combinations thereof; wherein said non-polymeric fluorinated organic acid comprises at least one of fluoroamido organic acids having the following general formula, R 5 â€”C(O)N(R 6 )R 4 â€”Q, and fluoroamidoether organic acids having the following general formula, R 5 â€”C(O)N(R 6 )R 4 â€”Oâ€”R 4 â€”Q, wherein R 4 is an alkylene group, R 5 is an alkyl group, R 6 is hydrogen or an alkyl group, and are the same or different at each occurrence, Q is selected from â€”SO 3 Z, â€”CO 2 Z, and â€”PO 3 Z, Z is H, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, N(R 5 ) 4 , or R 5 , any of R 4 , R 5 and R 6 may, independently, be unsubstituted or substituted, and the prefix â€œfluoroâ€ means that at least one hydrogen of R 4 , R 5 or R 6 has been replaced by fluorine, and includes partially fluorinated and perfluorinated.
