Abstract: A method of doping an intrinsically conductive polymer film is provided. The method includes contacting the film with a first acid dopant to form a primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film; cleaning the primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film by contacting the primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film with a vapor; dipping the vapor-cleaned primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film into a solution including at least a second acid dopant and an organic solvent to form a secondary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film; and annealing the secondary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film to produce a tertiary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film.

Abstract: A sensor is provided. The sensor includes a substrate having at least one intrinsically conductive polymer coated on at least a first surface thereof and at least a first and second conductive contact.

Abstract: A composition including at least one peroxide-generating electrocatalyst, at least one peroxide-activation catalyst, and carbon.

Abstract: An electroluminescent device is provided. The electroluminescent device includes an intrinsically conductive polymer layer having a thickness of from about 0.1 to about 3 microns and an elongation less than about 100%; and a phosphor layer having a thickness from about 20 microns to about 70 microns. The electroluminescent device demonstrates a loss of brightness of less than about 10% after undergoing repeated creasing, crushing, flexing, twisting, abrading, and/or stretching.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are described for protecting a metal surface against corrosion. The method involves applying to the metal surface a coating formulation that comprises a radiation curable resin and a corrosion-responsive agent that is capable of releasing a corrosion-inhibiting ion in response to exposure to ionic species characteristic of those present on a metal surface undergoing oxidative corrosion; and exposing the coating formulation to radiation whereby the radiation curable resin forms a corrosion-resisting coating having a low spontaneous release rate of the corrosion-responsive agent into the environment.
