| Conducting polymers are notorious for being difficult to process. Here, we describe syntheses, purification, and characterization of water-soluble double-stranded complexes containing conducting polymers. We describe the synthesis of a water-soluble double-stranded complex containing chiral polyaniline and poly (acrylic acid). We also describe the synthesis of a water-soluble double-stranded complex containing polypyrrole and poly (acrylic acid). Finally, we describe the synthesis of a water-soluble double-stranded complex containing polypyrrole and poly (acrylic acid) with an unusually high polypyrrole loading. |
