Abstract
Polyanilines have been known for over 100 years. Recent studies have demonstrated unusual chemical, electrical and optical phenomena in both the insulating and the conducting forms. Advances in the chemistry of polyanilines have lead to improved processibility leading to highly conducting oriented films and fibers. We briefly review here the chemical states of the polyanilines as well as the suggested applications of polyanilines and other conducting polymers. Emphasis is given here to the new concept of secondary doping as a means to enhance conductivity and other properties; also emphasized here is the use of conductive polyaniline as a means of remote welding (joining) of insulating plastics. This novel latter approach results in joints that, in some cases, are as strong as the materials being bonded.
