What is a conductive polymer?
Conductive polymers belong to a class of organic polymers bearing electrical and optical properties similar to that of metals and inorganic semiconductors. Such compounds own metallic conductivity. Conductive polymers offer processability, majorly by dispersion and they are extensively used in printing electronic circuits, organic solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, actuators, electrochromism, supercapacitors, chemical sensors & biosensors flexible transparent displays, and electromagnetic shielding.
COVID-19 Impact
The emergence of COVID-19 has had a strong impact on every industrial sector, including the automotive industry. All manufacturing and commercial activities have been suspended due to the lockdown measures ordered by various national governments. In addition, the nationwide shutdown has hampered both production and the supply chain, affecting the economy as a whole. This has a negative impact on the production of conductive polymers. However, with infection rates declining and operations resuming, the polymer industry is regaining its pre-COVID strength.
