 Conductive polymers, CPs, are organic substances that possess electrical and optical properties similar to those of inorganic semiconductors and metals, but with additional advantages such as ease of synthesis and fabrication, high mechanical and optical properties, and greater environmental stability than traditional inorganic materials. CPs have been extensively studied due to their potential use in a wide variety of applications, from drug delivery to tissue engineering. By coupling CPs with other materials, many of their limitations can be overcome, making them highly attractive for a range of medical and biological applications.
