Researches in the field of conductive polymers have attracted considerable attention for more then 20 years. Among the conductive polymers, polyaniline and polypyrrole have drawn considerable interest because of their economical importance, good environmental stability and satisfactory electrical conductivity when doped. On the other hand, electrically conductive materials such as aluminium pow...

Damage triggered release of microencapsulated conductive core materials has enabled autonomous restoration of electrical conductivity in a broken circuit. [ 1,2 ] Encapsulation of several different types of conductive core materials has been reported in the literature. [ 2–8 ] Odom et al. observed the formation of conductive charge transfer salt on a broken circuit upon the release of two react...
