Abstract

Polypyrrole-thermoplastic composite films were obtained by casting. Homogeneous films were prepared with dispersant poly(vinyl methyl ether) or poly(vinyl ethyl ether) by two methods. Electric conductivity, morphology, mechanical properties, and sensitivity to H₂O₂ in water were studied. Composites of polypyrrole with poly(vinyl chloride) carboxylated and poly(vinyl methyl ether) presented improved mechanical and electrical properties compared with other composites studied. These films were sensitive to H₂O₂ in water, showing a significant change in electric resistance. This change is discussed in relation to the H₂O₂ concentration and the exposure time.
