Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance tec
hniques were combined to study the ionic exchange process in polypyrro
le doped with the anionic surfactant, dodecylbenzenesulfonate. A quant
itative analysis of the results indicates a doping degree of 20% after
dectropolymerization. Studies performed in monomer-free solutions sho
w that both anions and cations of the electrolytes play an important r
ole in the redox process. Quantitative calculations also take into acc
ount the transfer of neutral species like solvent molecules.
