Abstract

Heterocyclic monomers (pyrrole, thiophene) and vinyl monomers, such as N-vinyl pyrrole, 1-vinyl-4,5,6,7- tetrahydroindole, styrene and vinyl ferrocene, were homopolymerized or copolymerized in order to obtain materials of various electrical conductivity. Thus N-vinyl pyrrole was polymerized or copolymerized with vinyl monomers and the pendent pyrrolic groups of polymer chains were then open in the presence of pyrrole monomer in order to get conductive polymeric networks. Alternatively, oxidized polymers or copolymers of vinyl ferrocene containing ferricinium cations acted as initiating matrices for polymerization of heterocyclic monomers and conductive interpenetrated networks were also formed. Electrical properties of the obtained materials are discussed in terms of conductivity and thermally stimulated current measurements.
