1. Introduction Conductive organic polymers have represented a significant paradigm shift because organic materials and, in particular, polymers have long been considered to be insulating materials. Less than fifty years ago, electrically semiconducting and conducting polymers began their remarkable rise, becoming essential components of organic electronics with significant technical potential [1,2,3].

Introduction Semiconductive polymers play a key role in the new era of “plastic electronics”.1 Due to their electrochemical, photophysical, mechanical and optical properties, conductive polymers have been successfully established in electronic devices used in xerography, photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes, and organic field-effect transistors.2-5 Therefore, semiconductive polymers are promising materials to replace the standard metals and metalloids paving the way to a modern...
