Abstract

The invention provides a process for producing a conductive polymer, the process comprising: providing a substrate having an oxidant layer on a surface thereof, the oxidant layer containing an oxidant, a solvent or blend of solvents, and a relatively high molecular weight non-ionic surfactant; exposing the surface containing the oxidant layer to a vapor containing an aryl or heteroaryl monomer that is polymerizable to form a conductive polymer without exposing the oxidant layer to an external source of water vapor; and polymerizing the aryl or heteroaryl monomer to form a polyaryl or polyheteroaryl conductive polymer on the surface of the substrate.
