Abstract Polypyrrole films with improved elongation at break were prepared electrochemically at low temperature. Mechanical stretching of the film gave highly oriented film with improved conductivity. Maximum conductivity was measured to be σ = 1005 S/cm. Anisotropy of conductivity was observed (σ/σ = 4.9).
