Abstract
Highly stable, flexible films of polypyrrole with p-type conductivities of 100 Ω–1 cm–1 have been prepared by electrolytic oxidation of the appropriate pyrrole monomers; similarly prepared films of mixtures of pyrrole and N-methylpyrrole have conductivities between 5 × 10–3 and 100 Ω–1 cm–1 depending upon the composition.
