Abstract: | The direct electrochemical copolymerization of pyrrole and tetrahydrofuran in various monomer ratios was carried out by potentiostatic methods in nitromethane solution. The copolymer has been characterized using FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetrical analysis (TGA), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and elemental analysis. The results showed that the electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole and tetrahydrofuran comonomers generated true copolymers rather than blends of the two homopolymers. The copolymer showed a better flexibility than pure polypyrrole. The electrical conductivity of the copolymers increases with the amount of polypyrrole in the copolymer between the value of 1.69 S/cm and 0.71 S/cm. |
