Editing Polyacetylene (section)

==Applications==
Polyacetylene has no commercial applications, although the discovery of polyacetylene as a conductive organic polymer led to many developments in materials science. Conducting polymers are of interest for solution-processing for film-forming conductive polymers.<ref name=Norden/> Therefore, attention has shifted to other [[conductive polymer]]s for application purposes including [[polythiophene]] and [[polyaniline]]. [[Molecular electronics]] could also be a potential application of conductive polyacetylene.
