Abstract

Polymeric composites of polypyrrole/polyurethane (PPy/PU) were prepared by electrochemical polymerization. The resulting films had conductivities ranging from 10−4 to 1S cm−1, and showed significant improvement in their mechanical properties. By varying the conditions of polymerization, a range of mechanical, as well as electrical, properties could be obtained.
