Abstract
We have used the photoacoustic technique in an open photoacoustic cell configuration to measure the thermal diffusivity of conducting polypy rrole films. The samples were obtained by electrochemical deposition f rom solutions of pyrrole dissolved in 0.08 M p-toluene sulfonic acid a nd their thicknesses were in the 50-125 mu m range. The thermal diffus ivity ct was found to be very dependent on the synthesis conditions. ( C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
