SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF STERICALLY STABILIZED COLLOIDAL DISPERSIONS OF POLYPYRROLE USING NOVEL TAILOR-MADE WATER-SOLUBLE BLOCK COPOLYMERS OF NARROW MOLECULAR-WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Sterically stabilized colloidal dispersions of polypyrrole have been prepared using a novel tailor-made block copolymer stabilizer of narrow molecular weight distribution, synthesized by group-transfer polymerization techniques. These polypyrrole dispersions have a spherical morphology, are slightly flocculated and have a relatively high stabilizer content (54% w/w).
