Abstract
It is shown that porous materials such as paper can be impregnated with a conducting polymer by first soaking the paper in a solution of metal salt which acts as an initiator for subsequent polymerization. By using this procedure the conductivity of filter paper can be raised to as high as 2 (ohm cm)−1 for an FeCl3/H20/pyrrole combination. The role of the metal ion is discussea and it is pointed out that the impregnated papers exhibit both ionic and electronic conductivity. The polypyrrole paper composites exhibit some properties similar to carbon black-polymer composites.
