摘要
A novel biomimetic route for the synthesis of electrically conducting homopolymers/copolymers of pyrrole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in the presence of a polyelectrolyte, such as polystyrene sulfonate (SPS), is presented. A poly(ethylene glycol)-modified hematin (PEG-hematin) was used to catalyze the homopolymerization of pyrrole and EDOT as well as copolymerization of EDOT and pyrrole in the presence of SPS to yield homopolymers of polypyrrole/SPS and PEDOT/SPS as well as a polypyrrole-co-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/ SPS complex. Spectroscopic characterization [UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)], thermal analysis, (TGA), and electrical conductivity studies for these complexes indicated the presence of a stable and electrically conductive form of these polymers. Furthermore, the presence of SPS that serves as a charge-compensating dopant in this complex provides a unique combination of properties such as processability and water solubility.
