Electrosynthesis and optical characterization of poly(p-phenylene), polypyrrole and poly(p-phenylene)-polypyrrole films

Synthesis and Characterization of Polypyrrole (PPy) Thin Films

Polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization technique using monomer pyrrole and ammonium persulphate as an oxidant in a ratio of 1:1. Thin films of polypyrrole were prepared by dissolving polypyrrole in m-cresol and cast using spin coating technique on glass substrates. Thin films of polypyrrole were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microsco...

Synthesis and characterization of Polyvinyl Alcohol-Polypyrrole-Silver nanocomposite polymer films

The present paper describes the preparation and characterization of Polyvinyl Alcohol-Polypyrrole-Silver Nanocomposite (PVA-PPy-Ag NC) films. The prepared films were conducting, freestanding, flexible, and robust. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate using trisodium citrate as a reductant. The casting solution for the films was prepared by in...

Electrosynthesis and Characterization of Polypyrrole in the Presence of 2,5-di-(2-thienyl)-Pyrrole (SNS)

Electrochemical Characterisations of Ultra Thin Overoxidized Polypyrrole Films Obtained by One-Step Electrosynthesis

Ultra thin (10-20 nm) and pin-hole free overoxidized polypyrrole films were directly electrosynthezised under potentiostatic conditions in the presence of weak-acid anions, specifically monohydrogenophosphate. Various overoxidized polypyrrole membranes were fabricated in these conditions at different potentials in the range of 0.70 to 0.90 V/SCE. Their non-conductive property and blocking chara...

XIX. Electrochemical Behavior at Polypyrrole-Nafion and Polypyrrole-Clay Thin Films on Glassy Carbon Electrodes

Biconductive films, involving the incorporation of an electronically conductive phase within an ionically conductive one, on glassy carbon electrode surfaces have been prepared by electropolymerization to form polypyrrole (PP) in matrices of Nation and the clay, hectorite. These films display electronic conductivity and higher stability than films of PP alone. Electrochemical studies of several...
