导电聚合物打破了聚合物为绝缘体的传统观念，因而被称为“第四代聚合物”。它既具有金属和半导体的导电特性，又保留了聚合物的轻质、柔性和可加工的特色。这种材料在光电子器件、传感技术、分子电子学和纳米器件以及驱动器件等方面具有潜在的应用前景。本书比较完整、系统地介绍了导电聚合物的缘起、掺杂与导电机制、结构与性能、技术应用前景以及研究进展，特别介绍了作者采用无模板自组装方法在微纳米结构的导电聚合物的研究及其应用方面的学术贡献。本书的内容分为5章：第1章，导论；第2章，优异的导电聚苯胺；第3章，导电聚合物的物理特性及其应用；第4章，导电聚合物的微纳米结构；第5章，无模板法自组装导电聚合物的微纳米结构。为了便于读者阅读，作者还特别给出了名词解释。
本书适合高校和科研院所的化学、化工、物理及材料专业的研究人员、教师和研究生阅读参考。
