Use of poly(ethylene terephthalate) track membranes as template matrices for the preparation of polymeric nanomaterials based on polypyrrole and poly(N-methylpyrrole)

摘要

The oxidative polymerization of pyrrole and N-methylpyrrole with the use of template synthesis on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) track membranes was studied. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was found that a polymer film was formed on the surface of membranes and on the walls of membrane pores. The rates of polymerization on the surface of membranes and pore walls, as well as the yield and structure of the polymer film, depend on the membrane parameters (pore length and diameter and membrane porosity), the chemical structure of the monomer, the diffusion of polymerized solutions through template pores, and the temperature.
