Such compounds may have conduct electricity. The biggest advantage of conductive polymers is their processability, mainly by dispersion in solvent. The electrical properties can be fine-tuned using the methods of organic synthesis and by advanced dispersion techniques. Conductive polymers have promise in antistatic materials and they have been incorporated into commercial displays and batteries, but there have had limitations due to the manufacturing costs, material inconsistencies, toxicity, poor solubility in solvents, and inability to directly melt process. Literature suggests they are also promising in organic solar cells, printing electronic circuits, organic light-emitting diodes, actuators, electrochromism, supercapacitors, chemical sensors and biosensors, flexible transparent displays, electromagnetic shielding and possibly replacement for the popular transparent conductor indium tin oxide. EDOT is electropolymerized with different dopants and electrolytes. It is also modified by silane treatments.
