Characterization and Application of Polypyrrole-Coated Textiles

  • Chapter
Intrinsically Conducting Polymers: An Emerging Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 246))

Abstract

Process parameters for the production of polypyrrole coated textiles, especially doping agents and the level of doping are discussed. Characteristics, such as electrical and microwave properties, as well as the environmental stability of these products are described. Applications for static dissipation, composite structures and military end uses are presented.
