To provide a composite of a polystyrenesulfonic acid or its salt and a polythiophene derivative, capable of forming a highly conductive film at low cost; and to provide a coating composition including a water-dispersion of the composite.
The composite comprises: a polystyrenesulfonic acid or its salt obtained by polymerizing styrenesulfonic acid or its salt; and a polythiophene derivative obtained by polymerizing a thiophene derivative in the presence of the polystyrenesulfonic acid or its salt. Here, the composite is preferably the one made by polymerization of the polystyrenesulfonic acid or its salt in the presence of aminosulfonic acid, or the one obtained by mixing aminosulfonic acid after polymerization of the polystyrenesulfonic acid or its salt.
