Electroactive copolymers of pyrrole containing covalently bound dopant ions: poly{pyrrole-co-[3-(pyrrol-1-yl)propanesulphonate]}

Abstract

A self-doped electroactive copolymer, poly{pyrrole-co-[3-(pyrrol-1-yl)propanesulphonate]}, in which the charge balancing counterion is covalently attached to the polymer chain, has been synthesized and cation controlled charge transport parameters have been evaluated.
