Fabrication of Langmuir—Blodgett films of polypyrrole by solid state reactions on an iron(III) stearate template

Abstract
The sequential exposure of Langmuir–Blodgett films of iron(III) stearate to hydrogen chloride gas and pyrrole vapour results in the formation of doped, conductive layers of polypyrrole' within the fatty acid multilayer; conductivities as high as 10 S cm–1 have been achieved.
