Abstract

A novel method for the preparation of polypyrrole hybrids with polyamines or polyimines is described. The polyreaction is performed by using chemical oxidants, e.g., iron(IR) chloride or ammonium persulfate in acidic solution. The polymer hybrids are soluble in water and have a good processability. 'H-NMR, '3C-NMR, UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis was used for characterization. The physical and chemical properties of the polymer hybrids prepared are compared with those of polypyrrole and the polymeric precursor amine.

Integrated approach for efficient humidity sensing over zinc oxide and polypyrole composite
2018, Materials Science and Engineering C
Citation Excerpt :
In this regards, several attempts have been made to solve this problems by preparing its composite, blend and copolymer [3]. The preparation of composite is a more facile way to improve and advance the properties of constituents of composite [4,5]. Further, several composites of PPy with metal oxides, biopolymers and carboneous materials have been prepared [6–8].
Synergism between individual components of a polymer composite evolve many promising interfacial surface properties for wide range of applications. The significant synergism in sensing materials are responsiveness to conductance; catalysis to luminescence; absorbance to porosity. In this context, present work reports the preparation of polypyrrole and zinc oxide (PPy/ZnO) composite by in-situ polymerization and composite formation (I.P.C.F.) technique. Thus obtained materials have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques for their structural and morphological properties. The results prove the formation of composite with optimized crystallinity, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. The optimization effect in the properties of ZnO/PPy and pure PPy films were studied and result indicates the enhancement in the electrical conductivity of ZnO/PPy than PPy due to the higher ionization in ZnO/PPy than pure PPy along with humidity responsive behavior. Further, ZnO/PPy composite has been explored for humidity sensing purposes by monitoring the electrical resistance against different humidity level of a closed chamber. The observed humidity sensing parameters are response time 12 s, recovery time 8 s and negligible interference. The sensing behavior has been explained with an appropriate schematic model using synergistic effect between ionization and dissociative adsorption of water molecules.
Influence of methane in the electrical properties of polypyrrole films doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid
2007, Sensors and Actuators, B: Chemical
Films of polypyrrole doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) with a concentration of 0.5 mol/L were studied using complex impedance spectroscopy, current density measurements as a function of voltage (J–V) at temperature of 293 K and capacitance voltage (C–V) measurements at low frequency. The J–V characteristics of these junctions were asymmetrical and non-linear, and there was no tendency to saturate for the reverse current. Under both forward and reverse bias, these junctions exhibited a significant, fast and reversible response to methane gas, which was explained by changes in the Schottky barrier height and in the carrier concentration of polypyrrole samples. Also the junction parameters were strongly influenced by the gas. From the C–V characteristics the built-in voltage and the charge concentration were also found to be influenced by the presence of the gas. Complex impedance spectroscopy showed two semicircular arc, which could be represented by a very simple equivalent circuit characteristic of a metal–semiconductor contact. The parameters extracted from these measurements were in good agreement with the proposed mechanism.
Porosity of microporous polyethylene membranes modified with polypyrrole and their diffusion permeability to low-molecular weight substances
2000, Chemical Engineering Journal
Diffusion permeability of the composite polypyrrole/polyethylene (PPy/PE) membranes in relation to various low-molecular weight electrolytes (hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride or sodium hydroxide) was studied. PPy/PE membranes were prepared by oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of FeCl₃. They differed in the thickness of PPy layers deposited on both the membrane and pore surfaces and in porosity. It was shown that changes of porous, hydrophilic and ion exchange properties of the membranes affect their diffusion permeability to electrolytes in the same way as was demonstrated earlier for diffusion permeability of microporous ion exchange Neosepta membranes in relation to proteins [M. Bleha, G. Tishchenko, Y. Mizutani, N. Ohmura, in: A. Dyer, M.J. Hudson, P.A. Williams (Eds.), Progress in Ion Exchange. Advances and Applications, Cambridge, 1997, pp. 211–218]. It means that there is an optimum combination of PPy content and membrane porosity ensuring the maximum fluxes of electrolytes through the membranes. At low (<2 h) and high (>6 h) duration of pyrrole polymerization the diffusion permeability of PPy/PE membranes is low. In the first case, PPy covers mainly the outer membrane surfaces; the surface of pores remain hydrophobic because pyrrole has no time for penetrating into them. In the second case, PPy forms thick layers on both the membrane and pore surfaces resulting in their blocking. It was found that the diffusion transport of acid and alkali accompanied with removing of Fe from the PPy/PE membranes. The influence of Fe-containing compounds presenting in the PPy/PE membranes on their diffusion permeability in alkaline or acidic conditions is discussed.
