Conducting molecular composites of polypyrrole with electroactive polymeric dopantions

Polypyrrole is one of the most widely used and studied electroactive polymers due to its good conductivity and stability in air. A variety of low molecular weight and polymeric ions have been used as charge compensating dopants in conductive polypyrrole in its oxidized state. In this work we report the electro-polymerization of polypyrrole films incorporating electroactive N-substituted polyaniline polyelectrolytes as dopant ions.
