Uses

Conducting polymers have many uses.  The most documented are as follows

• Corrosion Inhibitors

• Compact Capacitors

• Anti Static Coating

• Electromagnetic shielding for computers

• "Smart Windows"

A second generation of conducting polymers have been developed these have industrial uses like,

• Transistors

• Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

• Lasers used in flat televisions

• Solar cells
