Abstract

Method for the manufacture of a polymer with triaromatic methane units as basic building blocks, the electric conductivity of which is obtained through the formation of charge transfer complexes. Electron donors and/or electron acceptors are added to the synthetic polymer during or after its preparation, for forming charge transfer complexes.
