Abstract: Conductive polymers (CPs) have received significant attention due to their distinctive benefits over conventional materials, including versatile and adjustable electrical conductivity, straightforward fabrication methods, high mechanical strength, lightweight properties, cost-effectiveness, and ease of processing. By fusing the outstanding mechanical, thermal, and functional properties of nanoparticles with the electrical conductivity of polymers, conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNCs) have become a ground-breaking class of materials. The electrical, mechanical, and optical properties of these composites are greatly improved by the synergistic integration of nanofillers, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanoparticles, and nanoceramics. This makes it possible for these composites to be used in flexible electronics, energy storage, sensors, biomedical devices, and electromagnetic shielding. The synthesis methods, structure-property correlations, and processes controlling the electrical behavior of CPNCs are examined in this review. It also emphasizes their wide range of uses, which include electronic gadgets, coatings, sensors, and energy storage. Additionally covered the difficulties and potential of CPNCs, highlighting their critical role in developing next-generation nanomaterial-based technology.
