PEDOT:PSS — conductivity without metal

A carbon-based conductive polymer for interfaces that have to bend, print, or sit against skin — where metal is too stiff or too corrodible to use.

Why a polymer instead of metal

Nearly every conductor in an electronic product is metal. Metal carries current superbly and is unforgiving everywhere else — stiff at a fold, vulnerable to sweat.

PEDOT:PSS conducts as a polymer instead. It goes on wet, dries into a thin conductive layer, and flexes with whatever surface it was applied to.

Engineered to your process

  • Prints, coats, or dips

    Solution-processable: the same polymer becomes a printed film, a surface coating, an ink, or a fiber treatment.

  • Tuned to your substrate

    Molecular weight, D:S ratio, additives, and processing set conductivity, stretchability, adhesion, and stability inside your process window.

  • Measured on your formulation

    Sheet resistance, transparency, adhesion, and thermal behavior are measured on your formulation, in the lab that backs our contract work.

  • Published evidence

    Coated fibers and textile-electrode constructions have been evaluated in peer-reviewed studies. Results apply to those constructions, not to every formulation.

Electrical performance depends on formulation, substrate, geometry, and processing — it is confirmed for the selected formulation during technical scoping.

Development programs

Beyond supply formulations, the PEDOT:PSS platform anchors identified development programs. Each is stated at its actual maturity — a program in development, not an available product.

  • In development

    PFAS-capture membranes (PEDOT:PSS–graphene)

    PEDOT:PSS–graphene coatings for water-filtration membranes, in development with graphene producer Universal Matter under a Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGEN) project.

    How it works

    PFAS adsorbs onto the PEDOT:PSS–graphene surface with the voltage off and desorbs back into solution when voltage is applied — electrochemical removal and recovery.

    The coating is engineered as a thin pore-wall layer to avoid the risk of flux loss, toward a conductive, regenerable, anti-fouling membrane for industrial and municipal water treatment.

  • In development

    Graphene dispersion manufacturing

    The same NGEN program applies advanced AI tools to the optimization of graphene-dispersion manufacturing, supporting commercialization in concrete and rubber products.

    How it works

    Deploying them into the operational design of the dispersion processes is expected to significantly increase process uptime and throughput yield.

Program claims restate Myant's advanced-manufacturing program materials (July 2026). Membrane performance, formats, and availability are defined by the program — not offered as supply.

  • How it is described technically

    PEDOT:PSS is a carbon-based, metal-free conductive polymer. MyantX formulates and applies it as films, coatings, inks, and fiber treatments for flexible, printed, and smart-textile conductors — including electrode and interconnect constructions across Myant's Textile Computing™ programs.

    Its properties are engineered per formulation and process. The values below are characterized ranges for representative formulations; exact properties, test methods, and processing windows are confirmed for the selected formulation during technical scoping.

    Values are representative of identified internal formulations and test configurations — not guaranteed specifications. Detailed methods and formulation-specific specifications are confirmed during scoping. “Clinical-grade” describes a validated end-system, not the polymer alone.

  • Peer-reviewed studies

    Results below are from identified studies on specific formulations or constructions — they apply to those, not to the material family.
