TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.Abstract:
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans‘polyacetylene’, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give, depending on the extent of halogenation, silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.read more

Storing energy in plastics: a review on conducting polymers & their role in electrochemical energy storage
TL;DR: Conducting polymers have become the focus of research due to their interesting properties, such as a wide range of conductivity, facile production, mechanical stability, light weight and low cost and the ease with which conducting polymers can be nanostructured to meet the specific application as mentioned in this paper.

A class of narrow-band-gap semiconducting polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a class of conjugated polymers, containing alternating aromatic and quinonoid segments, whose members exhibit intrinsic band gaps as low as 075 eV, the smallest known value of band gap for an organic polymer.
