Abstract: Among the antistatic coatings, inherently conducting polymer films were found to be one of the most useful. In this paper, the application of inherently conducting polymers in antistatic coating, such as polythiophenes and polyaniline, have been briefly reviewed, including their conducting mechanism, their characteristics and their development. The special notice was focused on poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonic acid, which succeeded in photographic materials as antistatic coating in the past decade.

Key words: conducting polymers, antistatic coating, polythiophenes, polyaniline
