Abstract

Solid state conductive polymer compositions which are ionically-conductive regardless of the amount of water present in the composition are disclosed. The compositions have solvating polymer, ionic salt, and optionally if the composition is not cohesive and pliable, essentially non-volatile plasticizer in an amount sufficient to render the composition cohesive and pliable. Biomedical electrodes having means for electrical communication contacting the compositions are also disclosed. Methods of making the compositions and electrodes are also disclosed.
