Preparation and characterization of conducting polymer composite films: polypyrrole and polyethylene glycol

Polypyrrole-poly ethylene glycol (Ppy -PEG) composites were synthesized by electrochemical method using p-toluene sulfonate as a dopant in aqueous medium. Polyethylene glycol was used as the insulating material in order to impart enhanced mechanical properties to the conducting polymer composite fil...
