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:

Conducting Polymers, Hydrogels and Their Composites: Preparation, Properties and Bioapplications
TL;DR: This review is focused on current state-of-the-art research on electroactive-based materials and their synthesis, as well as their physicochemical and biological properties, and the use of ICPs and materials, including their different forms, are particularly interesting, namely, biosensors, delivery of drugs and tissue engineering.

Synthesis, optical, and electronic properties of soluble poly-p-phenylene oligomers as models for molecular wires.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the effective conjugation length in poly-p-phenylenes is, in part, controlled by the increasing number of interactions of ortho hydrogens which may prevent simultaneous planarization of the continuous arrays of a large number of phenylene moieties.

Molecular structure, symmetry, and shape as design elements in the fabrication of molecular crystals for second harmonic generation and the role of molecules-in-materials.
TL;DR: This Account projects a range of design strategies for molecular SHG crystals and avenues for expanding further on the present observations; the need to address and exploit the contribution of intermolecular interactions is specially noted.
