Conducting polymers are of great interest due to their potential utility in a host of areas including electronics, microlithography, corrosion prevention of metals, anti-static applications, and EMI shielding. The utility of these conducting polymers can be greatly enhanced if their solubility (especially in polar solvents) is increased. The use of a water soluble template/dopant can be beneficial in the synthesis of conducting polymers that are soluble in their (doped) conducting state. Lignosulfonic acid has been used as a dopant/polyelectrolyte in the synthesis of polypyrrole and the resulting polymer has been characterized by IR, NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
