Electrochemical Copolymerization of Pyrrole and Methyl Ethyl Ketone Formaldehyde Resin

Abstract

ABSTRACT Electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of methyl ethyl ketone formaldehyde resin (MEKF-R) was accomplished. Characterization of insoluble free-standing films was carried out via FTIR spectrum, cyclic voltammogram (CV), UV-visible spectrum, and four-point probe conductivity measurements. The effect of pyrrole and the resin concentrations on the conductivity of the resulting products was investigated. The copolymers obtained as free-standing films have conductivity value of 10−6–10−2 S/cm and they are insoluble in organic solvents.
