The science development is linked in to how the human being observes the nature and removes the inputs for the construction of tools that facilitates their lifelong journey. Perception of semiconductor properties in polymers is one of the discoveries that set civilization to a high level in terms of the ability to adapt materials to their intended purpose. Bringing lightness, flexibility, transparency, ease of processing into a single polymer material was an important step in replacing metals as raw material for the construction of numerous devices. However, in the 1970s, with the discovery of electrical charge conduction characteristics in predominantly insulating polymers. From then on, a range of sensors, organic screens, solar cells, electrochromic devices, etc. were developed. The present work summarizes the main conductive polymers used in the construction of such devices, permeating its history when Shirakawa accidentally synthesized the first polymer, its synthesis and conduction mechanisms, as well as research that has been modifying the way man interacts. with the world through the pursuit of energy efficiency combined with the preservation of the environment
