ABSTRACT
It is attractive to consider the polyanilines for applications in a wide variety of technologies because of their flexible chemistry, solubility, processibility, environmental stability, and ease of forming into blends and composites. We review here the response of the polyanilines to electric fields at frequencies ranging from dc through audio and microwave frequency to the optical frequency range. Potential applications of the polyanilines in commodity, commodity/electrochemical, and "high tech" applications for all three ranges are discussed. In addition, potential applications of the polyanilines based upon their chemical and electrochemical responses are pointed out.
