A process for preparing an electrically conductive polymer composition which comprises preparing a blend of a solution of an intrinsically conductive polymer and a thermosetting, thermoplastic or elastomeric polymer and removing the solvent, the intrinsically conductive polymer being employed in a weight ratio to the second polymer of from about 0.005:1 to 3:1, the solution having a solids content of from about 2 to 75 weight percent, and the intrinsically conductive polymer being an electrically conductive, stacked macrocyclic metal complex polymer based upon porphyrin or a derivative thereof which comprises an organic bridging ligand containing conjugated pi-electrons allowing delocalization along the polymer chain and in which the metal atom is Fe, R, Rh, Co, Mn or Cr.

Conductive polymer compositions

An improved process for the production of linear alternating polymers of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon comprises contacting the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon under polymerization conditions in the presence of a catalyst composition formed from a palladium compound, an anion of a strong non-hydrohalogenic acid and an aryl phosphine sulfide having at least 2 phosphorus atoms.
