Electrochemical Investigations of Electronically Conductive Polymers. 4. By Controlling the Supermolecular Structure, Charge Transport Rates Can Be Enhanced

Abstract

We have shown that electrically conductive polymers with fibrillar supermolecular structures can be prepared by synthesizing the polymer within the pores of a microporous membrane. In this paper we compare charge-transport rates in fibrillar polypyrrole with the corresponding rates in conventional polypyrrole films; charge-transport rates in the fibrillar versions were found to be significantly higher.
