Abstract
A method of forming an electrically conductive polymer comprises providing a reaction mixture in carbon dioxide, the reaction mixture comprising at least one monomer and a charge transfer agent. The monomer is then polymerized in the carbon dioxide to form a polymer, and the polymer is doped with the charge transfer agent so that the polymer is an electrically conductive polymer.
