Conductive polymers can be defined as cationic and anionic salts of highly conjugated polymers. Cation salts result from chemical oxidation and electrochemical polymerization while anion salts are produced through electrochemical reduction or chemical reduction using reagents such as sodium naphthalide. This article reviews the preparation and development of conductive polymers, mechanism of conductivity. Different methods for applying conductive polymers to the surface of textiles are described here(chemical polymerization, electrochemical polymerization, vapor phasepolymerization, Solution coating process, polymerization in super critical fluid) along with their relative advantages and disadvantages. Woven and non-woven fabrics coated with conductive polymer and applications to electrically conductive textiles are considered.
