  • Patent number: 7585431
    Abstract: This invention is concerned with an electrically conductive polymer blend composition which is a liquid compatible blend, comprising a doped product formed form blending a first solution comprising a Lewis base electrically conductive polymer in undoped form in a first organic solvent with a second solution comprising a Lewis acid polymer dopant in a second organic solvent, wherein said Lewis acid polymer dopant dopes said Lewis base electrically conductive polymer in undoped form to obtain said electrically conductive polymer blend, the resulting doped conductive product being soluble in the combination of said first and said second organic solvents and mixable at the molecular level.
