Polypyrrole/polyurethane (PPY/PU) composite films containing CLO_4^-, BF_4^- or CH_3-C_6H_4-SO_3^- counter ions were made in a variety of solvent systems and characterized by SEM, electronic conductivity, FTIR, and mechanical properties. Composite films showing much greater fiexibility than pure polypyrrole were obtained, but their electronic conductivities were substantially lower. Measured eonductivities ranged from 0.001 to 8 S/cm, tensile strengths from 44 to 592 psi, and elongation to failure from 3 to 70%.展开更多

The struc- ture of the SBA/PPy composites was characterized by trans- mission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron mi- croscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier trans- form spectroscopy (DRIFT), X-ray photoelectron spectros- copy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and standard four-probe method. The core-shell morphology of the SBA/PPy composite particles was confirmed. The result of DSC showed that Tg of the composite is mainly determined by the core component. The effects of the concentration of polypyrrole, the butyl acrylate content in SBA copolymer and the nature of the counter-anion on the electrical conduc- tivity of compression-moulded samples were studied. It was first found that the electrical conductivity of the samples can be tuned by varying the butyl acrylate content in SBA co- polymer and the highest conductivity of the core-shell com- posite was 0.17 S·cm?1.展开更多

Proofs for the success of core/shell synthesis were obtained by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Pressed pellet conductivity measurements on the dried composites indicated a low percolation threshold of 13.8%. The conductivity for the composites was higher than that of a heterogeneous admixture of dried PS latex and PPy bulk powder. The highest conductivity of the core/shell composite was 0.14 S/cm.展开更多
