General description

Process up to at least 170°C in air. Process up to at least 270°C under nitrogen.Polypyrrole (PPy) is a conductive and highly stable polymer. It may be prepared by standard electrochemical technique. PPy may also be prepared by reacting β-napthalene sulfonic acid (NSA) and ammonium peroxo-disulphate in aqueous medium. The charges on the surfaces can be easily modified by doping the polymer during its synthesis. Solubility and conductivity measurements of PPy doped with camphor sulfonic and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid has been reported.

Intrinsically conducting polymers, such as polypyrrole (PPy), have been utilized for drug delivery purposes as drug release rates can be tuned by electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation can be used to switch the redox state of PPy, subsequently changing the electrostatic

The application of conducting polymers at the interface with biology is an exciting new trend in organic electronics research.

While dye sensitization as the basis for color photography has been accepted for a very long time,1 attempts to use this principle for the conversion of solar light to electricity generally had resulted only in very low photocurrents, below 100 nA/cm2.2

For several decades, the need for an environmentally sustainable and commercially viable source of energy has driven extensive research aimed at achieving high efficiency power generation systems that can be manufactured at low cost.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
