Abstract
Polymeric compositions well suited for conversion into electroconductive shaped articles, e.g., films, comprise at least one convertible polymer (Pm) and at least one amphiphilic organic compound (B) which comprises a charge transfer complex or a radical ion salt having the formula (I): D.sub.d A.sub.a Z.sub.z, in which D is an electron donor; A is an electron acceptor; Z is a doping agent which itself can be a non-amphiphilic electron donor or electron acceptor, with the proviso that at least one of D and A is amphiphilic and contains at least one saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon substituent having at least 10 carbon atoms; d is a number equal to or greater than 0; a is a number equal to or greater than 0; and z is a number equal to or greater than 0, with the further proviso that at least one of the symbols d and a is a number greater than 0.
