“…Covering other materials with PPy coatings from chemically derived powder is problematic. The idea to overcome this obstacle was realized by polymer deposition from the gas phase [53] or by the preparation of composites with poly(N-vinylcarbazole) [54], poly(ethylene oxide) [55], polyvinyl chloride [56], poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) [57], polyurethane [58], carbon black [59] or proteins like silk [60]. Other forms of materials containing PPy are also available, like substituted polymers, self-doped polymers, polymer/macroion materials, and hybrid materials (where the macroion is inorganic, polymeric, or of an organic blend) [61].…”
