The general concepts of quasi-one-dimensional conducting polymers are introduced including the role of band theory, electron-phonon interactions, the Peierls ground state, and commensurability. The dominant defect states present upon doping, solitons, polarons and bipolarons, are discussed. Application of these concepts to polyaniline is made with emphasis on the mechanism for the insulator-to-metal transition.
