Polymers are huge compounds made up of numerous monomers (repeatedsubunits). They have similar macro and micro properties, as well aselectrical transport qualities, semiconductive capabilities, and opticalfeatures. With the advent of conductive polyacetylene, conductivepolymers have gotten a lot of interest. These conductors have a wide rangeof electrical conductivity, which may be produced by doping, while beingmechanically flexible and having a high thermal stability. Polymers may becreated using a variety of methods, including chemical and electrochemicalpolymerization. With advancement in material stability and greaterproperty control, an increasing variety of new applications are now beinginvestigated.
