Abstract

Conducting polymers (CPs) have garnered a lot of attention in recent years due to the financial significance they have, the high environmental stability they exhibit, the electrical conductivity they possess, and the beneficial mechanical, optical, and electronic qualities they possess. Conducting polymers have a wide range of uses, including but not limited to the following: diodes, transistors, artificial nerves, aviation construction, conducting adhesives, electromagnetic shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), and electrostatic materials. These nanofibers and nanotubes have a wide range of potential applications, including but not limited to: actuators, drug delivery, brain interfaces, nanodiodes, field emission and electrochromic displays, supercapacitors and energy storage, sensors, nanodiodes, field effect transistors, drug delivery, and protein purification. The purpose of this review is to discuss a few of these applications as well as their possible applications in the future.
