Synthesis and characterization of polypyrrole-polyurethane cationomer composites

Poly(ether urethane) cationomers based on poly(oxytetramethylene), 4,4'-bibenzyldiisocyanate, N-methyldiethanolamine as chain extender, and acrylic acid/poly(acrylic acid) as quaternization agent were synthesized. Pyrrole (15 wt.-%) was polymerized in films of the ionomer containing CuCl2. The films were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The electric conductivity of the film without polypyrrole is 7.5 . 10(-12) Omega(-1)cm(-1), while incorporation of polypyrrole increases the conductivity to 4.5 . 10(-6) Omega(-1) cm(-1).

Charge transport of indigo-carmine doped polypyrrole

Charge transport in polypyrrole doped with indigo-carmine was investigated by the method of electrochemical alternating current impedance. By the nonlinear least square fitting, the equivalent circuit and parameter of each component are obtained. The apparent diffusion coefficients and heterogeneous electron transfer constants are given. It is found that, along with the increasing of film thickness, D-app and k(0) increase also.

Conversion from electronic conducting phase to redox conducting phase of polypyrrole

Square-wave voltommetry is used to study the oxidation of polypyrrole doped with dodecylsulfate. The net current curve in this experiment shows why the oxidation current does not display the capacitive-like shape common in cyclic voltammetry. In cyclic voltammetry, the redox behavior of polypyrrole is attributed to the size of dodecylsulfate, irreversible incorporation and the complete consumption of dodecylsulfate. After the polypyrrole film was scanned in aqueous NaCl solution, square wave voltammetric measurements show different results, indicating the change of the polymer nature with regard to the charge transport. This is explained by anion replacement, exclusion and the change of the charge transport mechanism.

Research on modified electrode of conducting polymer .2. Characteristics of polypyrrole film doped with heteropolyanions

Polypyrrole film electrode with Co(W2O7)(6)(10-) and CuW12O406- ions were synthesised in aqueous solutions, The electrode possesses a good stability and cyclic voltammetric behavior in weakly acidic or near neutral solutions, The redox of CuW12O406- ion can be catalysed by the polypyrrole film, The ESR measurement of the polypyrrole film with Co(W2O7)(6)(10-) and CuW12O406- ions indicates that the heteropolyanions not only play the role of neutralizing electricity in the polypyrrole film, contrasted with the film containing NO3-, but also Interact with the polypyrrole molecular chain to form some additive compound, The additive compound affects the electric structure elf the polypyrrole film and is unstable at more positive or more negative potentials.

Direct electron communication between glucose oxidase and carbon electrode covered with polypyrrole

Glucose oxidase can be effectively adsorbed onto the polypyrrole(PPy) thin film electrochemically formed on an anodized galssy carbon electrode(GCEa). Direct electron communication between the redox of GOD and the modified electrode was successfully achieved, which was detected using cyclic voltammetry. GOD entrapped in PPy film still remained its biological activity and could catalyze the oxidation of glucose. As a third generation biosensor, GOD-PPy/GCEa responded linearly up to 20 mM glucose with a wider linear concentration range.

Study on the modified electrode of conducting polymers .3. Electron spin resonance characteristic of polypyrrole film electrode doped with heteropolyanions

The ESR of PPy films doped with Co (W2O7)(6)(10-) and CuW12O406- ions were reported and discussed. Results show that heteropolyanions not only play the role of neutralizing electricity in the PPy film, but also interact with the PPy molecular chain to form some adducts. The adducts affect the electronic structure of the PPy film and are unstable at more positive or more negative potentials. Dysonian ESR lineshape was recorded for the dry PPy film with CuW12O406- for the first time.
