Abstract
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.
