Nizar Matar

I think that the question raised by a Research Gate colleague 2 years ago (with the answers that followed) will help in finding out where to look for cheapest made conductive polymers:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Are_there_cheaper_polymers_that_have_similar_conductivities_than_PEDOTPSS

Bhaskar Bhatt

Sir are you asking for polymer composite?

Ajitanshu Vedrtnam

Prof. Matar,

The earlier discussion was useful but the question is still open.

PEDOT: PSS is commercially available. Could we prepare a cheaper alternative?

I am looking for the cheaper fabrication process and constituents.

Dear Bhaskar, polymer composite would do, however, transparency is a constraint.
