Scientific and Commercial Breakthrough for Organic Metals

The organic metal polyaniline has been thoroughly investigated over the last years, an overview will be given with focus on: ic properties (quantum size effect in mesoscopic metals, and strategies for increasing metallic conductivity) ic properties of polyaniline blends ing and passivation mechanism (reaction scheme) of PAni on conventional metal surfaces rst regular and significant commercial applications have been realized or are close to reality. The most important will be discussed, like: ion protection as a first real application cturing of printed circuit boards (here, a new technology will be presented, which is a new surface preparation technique) arent coatings — their physical and chemical background, their actual and potential new applications
