Abstract

Polypyrrole (PPy) - Polyethylene oxide (PEO) composite thin films were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization method with ferric chloride (FeCl3) as oxidant in methanol solvent. The composite films were synthesized with various weight percentages of pyrrole, and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, conductivity measurement. The FT-IR result shows the successful incorporation of PEG into the PPy structure forming PPy-PEG composite films. The dc electrical conductivity of the films, at 318K, first increases with wt% of pyrrole and attains the maximum value (&
