ABSTRACT
I. INTRODUCTION Organic polymers have such useful properties as durability, easy processibility, low density, and a rather low cost. One more property, namely electrical conductivity of the polymers with conjugated double bonds, was unexpected. Attempts to combine the properties of metals (conductivity) and those of polymers mentioned above were made for a long time. Mechanical mixing of powders of a metal or graphite with polymers could not give a material with high parameters without a deterioration of electrical conductivity or economic utility. Increasing the metal content results in an increase in conductivity but raises the cost of the product and lowers the mechanical parameters inherent in polymers [1]. A new class of organic polymers that conduct an electrical current, which are sometimes called "organic metals," occupies an intermediate position between semiconductors and metals in the 10-9-105 S /cm range.
