Semiconducting and Metallic Polymers: The Fourth Generation of Polymeric Materials (Nobel Lecture).
TL;DR: When asked to explain the importance of the discovery of conducting polymers, I offer two basic answers: first they did not (could not?) exist, and second, that they offer a unique combination of properties not available from any other known materials.
