Abstract
Poly-epsilon-caprolactone end-capped by a pyrrole moiety has been synthesiz ed and successfully copolymerized with pyrrole with formation of new brush copolymers. Copolymerization has been achieved by electrochemical and chemi cal techniques. Formation of copolymer has been confirmed by various method s including XPS, DSC, TGA, and SEM. The effect of the PCL branches on condu ctivity, morphology and stability of PPy has been studied.
