Conductive composites from polyvinyl alcohol and polypyrrole
Abstract
The electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on a platinum electrode covered with a film of polyvinyl alcohol produces black, flexible films which are a composite of polypyrrole and polyvinyl alcohol. These composites incorporate some of the attractive electrical properties of the polypyrrole and some of the attractive mechanical properties of the polyvinyl alcohol. © 1984.
