Abstract
Disclosed is a process for forming a conductive coating of polyacetylene or substituted polyacetylene on fibers. The fibers are immersed into a solution of a catalyst for the polymerization of acetylene or substituted acetylene. The fibers are removed from the solution and acetylene or substituted acetylene gas is permitted to permeate the fibers, polymerizing to form a polyacetylene coating on the fibers. The coated fibers are then doped to make the polyacetylene coating conductive. Also disclosed are conductive polyacetylene coated fibers and a laminate containing conductive polyacetylene coated fibers.
