Growth of thin processable films of poly(pyrrole) using phosphomolybdate clusters
Abstract
Facile control over the chemical polymerization of pyrrole from solutions of pyrrole-phosphomolybdic acid has allowed processibility of conducting poly(pyrrole). This approach has allowed thin conducting films of poly(pyrrole) to be deposited in a single step, and in contrast to electrochemical polymerization methods, is not limited to electrically conducting substrates. For example, 40–100 nm thick poly(pyrrole) films with conducivities in the range of 15 to 30 S cm⁻¹ have been spin coated onto insulating glass substrates. Insight into the mechanism of polymerization has been obtained with cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
