A conjugated
polymer comprising 3, 4-
ethylenedioxy thiophene having general formula (I): wherein: R1, R2, R3 and R4, equal to or different from each other, represent a
hydrogen atom; or are selected from ester groups having general formula (II): wherein Rs is selected from C1-C20
alkyl groups, preferably C1-C15, more preferably is a C15
alkyl group, provided that at least two of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are selected from ester groups having general formula (II); preferably, R2 and R3, equal to each other, represent a
hydrogen atom and R1 and R4, equal to each other, are selected from ester groups having general formula (II); - m is an integer
ranging from 0 to 100, preferably
ranging from 0 to 20; - n is an integer
ranging from 10 to 100, preferably ranging from 15 to 20; - A is a monovalent
sulfonate anion, optionally polymeric, preferably selected from
trifluoromethanesulfonate, nonafluorobutanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, poly(
styrene sulfonate). The above-mentioned conjugated
polymer having general formula (I) can be advantageously used in anticorrosive coatings of
metal surfaces. Furthermore, the above-mentioned conjugated
polymer having general formula (I) can be advantageously used in the field of
organic electronics, sensors and actuators, as well as in the construction of battery electrodes. Furthermore, the above-mentioned conjugated polymer having general formula (I) can be advantageously used in 3D printing compositions.
