Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) was electrochemically synthesized in boron trifluoride et hyl ether (BTEE) whose acidity was adjusted with additional ethyl ether (EE ). A high quality PPy film can be synthesized in a wide mole ratio range of BTEE/EE and under mild conditions. The obtained film showed the highest te nsile strength (90 MPa) we had ever seen and good anisotropy in electrical conductivity. The structure was investigated using surface enhanced Raman s cattering (SERS). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
