The preparation, characterization and properties of aqueous dispersions of electrically conducting polymer particles are described. Three types of such particles have been prepared: polyacetylene, polypyrrole and polyaniline. Particles in the size range 50–500 nm (diameter) and with conductivities generally ≃ 1–10 S cm may be made. Composites of such particles, dispersed in a matrix polymer which is non‐conducting, are also described.
