The presence of pyridinium chlorochromate as an oxidizing agent in acetonitrile solution containing the monomer and the doping agent significantly accelerates electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole. The thickness of poly pyrrole layers produced by this combined electrochemical and chemical synthesis reaches several milimetres for the 60 min polymerization reaction.
The influence of pyridinium chlorochromate concentration on the rate of polymer formation and the amount of released gas was investigated during the combined synthesis of polypyrrole. The polypyrrole prepared was characterized by ESCA analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
