N. Arsalani et Ke. Geckeler, NOVEL ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING POLYMER HYBRIDS WITH POLYPYRROLE, Reactive & functional polymers, 33(2-3), 1997, pp. 167-172
A novel method for the preparation of polypyrrole hybrids with polyami
nes or polyimines is described. The polyreaction is performed by using
chemical oxidants, e.g., iron(III) chloride or ammonium persulfate in
acidic solution. The polymer hybrids are soluble in water and have a
good processability. H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy and th
ermal gravimetric analysis was used for characterization. The physical
and chemical properties of the polymer hybrids prepared are compared
with those of polypyrrole and the polymeric precursor amine.
