Abstract

This paper presents an introductory review of polyacetylene, a typical semiconducting and metallic organic polymer. The electrical conductivity of polyacetylene can be tailored by appropriate “chemical and/or electrochemical doping” with electron accepting or electon donating reagents, spanning the range of insulators (10^-12 S/cm) and metals (10³ S/cm). Some of the potential applications of the doped polyacetylene are described.
