AB  - Conducting Polymers (CPs) were first produced in the mid-1970 as a novel generation of organic
materials that have both electrical and optical properties similar to those of metals and inorganic semiconductors
but which also exhibit the attractive properties associated with conventional polymers such as ease of
synthesis and flexibility in processing. CPs has many attractive applications in the field of sensors, fuel cells,
capacitors and for a number of biological and medical applications. This review provides brief information on
synthesis techniques of CPs, ultrasonic irradiation in particular. The manuscript first introduces different types
of CPs, their unique properties and their synthesis. Then specific information is provided on the basic of
ultrasonic irradiation, parameters which influence the ultrasonic irradiation and effect of ultrasound on polymer
properties. Also a couple of case studies have been discussed.
