Description
Summary:Poly(pyrrole) may be prepared by electrochemical or chemical systhesis, and under appropriate conditions, free-standing films of the oxidized material are produced, which exhibit relatively high conductivity and stability. This material provides an interesting contrast with the phosphazene polymers. Although the polyphosphazene are completely conjugated, all of the currently known materials are insulators; nevertheless the polyphosphazenes exhibit excellent mechanical and chemical stability properties. In the present study we report the synthesis of polybis(pyrrolyl)phosphazene (PBPP), a new polymer which incorporates certain features of both classes of materials. Subsequent electrochemical oxidation of PBPP leads to the deposition of electrically conducting fibrous black films at the anode.
