Abstract
Fabrics are made electrically conductive by contacting the fabric under agitation conditions with an aqueous solution of a pyrrole or aniline compound, and an oxidizing agent and a doping agent or counter ion; and then epitaxially depositing onto the surface of the individual fibers of said fabric the in status nascendi forming polymer of the pyrrole or aniline compound so as to uniformly and coherently cover the fibers with an ordered conductive film of the polymerized pyrrole or aniline compound. Individual fibers and yarns can be similarly treated and then formed into fabrics. Products made by the process are also described.
