Abstract A two‐step method for the preparation of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) has been developed. Copolymerization of styrene and divinyl benzene at the particle surface resulted in a large number of accessible vinyl groups. These vinyl groups reacted with sodium styrene sulfonate to give SPBs. The SPBs were used as carriers for conducting polymers resulting in redispersible conducting inks with good film forming properties. Direct current (DC) conductivity of the polypyrrole (PPy) loaded samples showed a percolating behavior as probed by impedance spectroscopy. Finally, device performance of organic light‐emitting diodes based on the conducting thin films assembled from the PPy loaded particles was tested. magnified image
