Abstract
The vinyl-type conducting polymer precursor is dissolved in solution containing volatile solvent such as methanol, and the precursor fibers are produced by electrospinning. The vinyl-type conducting polymer fibers are produced by heat treatment of the precursor fibers at certain temperature and time in a vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere, or by zone reaction method, followed by doping with dopant.
