Abstract
The evidence for the presence of the pyrrole moiety in electro-chemically prepared polypyrrole is reviewed together with structural and IR data obtained for the crystalline dimer and trimer of pyrrole. The modification of the mechanical properties of polypyrrole by formation of graft copolymers with polystyrene, by polymerization of the pyrrole monomer within the matrix of a swellable polymer film and by polymerization of the pyrrole on vitreous carbon electrodes is described.Keywords
