THE STRANGEST PLASTICS
Conducting polymers are out of the labs and turning up in various products--batteries, capacitors, and static-dissipating fabrics. On the way are windows that control light or heat automatically, plastic aircraft, and more.
"This is something that was sent to me from Japan," said Alan MacDiarmid, chemistry professor at the University of Pennsylvania, flipping a disc about the size of a dime on his desk. "I believe they're producing about 100,000 of them a month. They're rechargeable batteries that are particularly useful as backup power ...
