Preparation and characterization of multilayer systems consisting of the soluble and electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films

摘要

A multilayer system consisting of the soluble and electrochemically synthesized PPy films has been prepared for investigation of the application possibility of soluble PPy film as an intermediate layer between the non-conducting substrate and electrochemically synthesized PPy film. Soluble PPy has been synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization. A glass substrate with deposited soluble PPy film was used as anode for electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole. Resulting multilayer system has been characterized by cyclic voltammetry technique (CV). Surface morphology of PPY films was characterized with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The synthesized soluble PPy was characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
