Polypyrrole microactuators have been fabricated by the standard surface micromachining method combined with the electropolymerization of polypyrrole. The fundamental structure to verify the feasibility of the fabrication process is polypyrrole cantilever. Based on these process, polypyrrole grippers and valves for the manipulation of the cell have been fabricated. Grippers have the structure of bone and muscle which are rigid polymers and polypyrrole, respectively. Valves have the assembled structure of channels with polypyrrole cantilevers. The proposed fabrication process and structures are expected to be used for bio-related applications, for example, the cell manipulation.

Electrically conducting composite films were prepared by a vapor phase in situ polymerization of pyrrole in the methyl cellulose film containing a copper(II) perchlorate. Methylcellulose had high affinity to pyrrole and was used as a matrix polymer. Conducting polypyrrole was embedded in the methylcellulose film forming a conducting network and the conductivity of the composite films ranged $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-7}S/cm$. The conductivities of conducting composite films were dependent on the nature of the matrix polymers, concentration of oxidant and polymerization time. In situ polymerization of pyrrole was observed in the matrix polymer and confirmed by UV-vis spectra. From the results of the thermogravimetric analysis, the chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the matrix polymers did not give any negative effects on the thermal stability of the composite films. Electron micrograph of composites indicated good penetration of PPy in the matrix polymer. DMA suggested a certain degree of incompatibility of the polypyrrole in the composites.

수계 나트륨 이차전지는 발화 위험이 전혀 없고, 기존 유기계 리튬 배터리에 비해 고속 충 방전 특성을 가지며, 리튬 대신 나트륨을 적용해 가격 경쟁력에서도 매우 우수한 포스트 리튬 이차전지로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리피롤을 CNT 표면에서 중합하여 나노 코드 형태의 PPy/CNT를 제조하여 수계 나트륨 이차전지의 음극 활물질로 적용하였다. 폴리피롤과 CNT의 복합화에 의해 이론용량에 가까운 용량을 얻을 수 있었으며, 10C 이상의 고속 충 방전 조건에서도 안정적인 출력을 보이는 것으로 확인하였다. 벌크상태의 PPy에서는 볼 수 없는 독특한 전기화학적 특성이 있음을 확인하였으며, 폴리피롤에서의 독특한 충 방전 메커니즘을 제안할 수 있었다.

Inclusion compounds using cyclic poly(oxyethylene)s as host molecules have been used to polymerize pyrrole chemically in aqueous medium. This general synthetic strategy makes it possible to grow rigid aromatic polymers in aqueous medium by chemical oxidation method. It is an easy method to obtain rigid polymers in a very mild manner. Some threaded and water-soluble polypyrroles are obtained, and their characterization is performed by NMR, IR, UV, and MALDI-TOF MS measurements.

A large number of works have been Performed to understand the electrochemical growth of Polypynole on conducting substrates in aqueous as well as in nonaqueous solutions. Recently most researches with Polypyrrole have tended to be directed toward technological applications, but many fundamental physical and chemical properties of Polypyrrole remain unknown. In Particular, microrheological Property of polypyrrole has been largely neglected until the advanced electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique was introduced recently. To study anion effects on microrheolosical Property of Polypyrrole, we investigated changes in viscoelasticity of Polypyrrole during electrochemical growth in neutral aqueous solutions by means of in siか electrochemical quartz crystal oscillator method. The results showed that the films of Polypyrrole synthesized in $KPF_6\;and\;KCIO_4$ were more viscoelastic than the ones in $KCI,\;KNO_3,\;KBr,\;KBF_4,\;K_2SO_4$, sodium tosylate (NaOTs), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The growth rate of Polypyrrole in SDS was faster than that in the others utilized. Polypyrroles synthesized in buffered neutral solutions were more elastic than those in unbuffered neutral solutions.

The electrically conducting cellulose acetate/polypyrrole composite films were synthesized by exposing cellulose acetate film containing oxidizing agent to pyrrole vapour and the formation of polypyrrole is confirmed by IR and electron microscopic studies. The morphologies of polypyrrole in the composites are different depending on the oxidizing agent. Ferric chloride is most effective among several metallic chlorides to synthesize the composites with high electrical conductivity. The conductivity of composite films synthesized with 50 wt.% of ferric chloride reaches upto $10^{-2}S/cm$.

Stretchable Polypyrrole films using functionalized doping agent, di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt (NaDEHS), were synthesized by chemical and electrochemical method. Chemically and electrochemically Prepared Polypyrrole films were stretch-oriented (L/L$\_$0/＝ 1.0 ∼ 2.5) by zone drawing method and the electrical conductivities were measured. As the draw ratio was increased, the electrical conductivities were increased. This result was confirmed by the increase in crystallinity through the increase in draw ratio. The temperature dependence of electrical conductivity showed that 3D-variable range hopping model (L/L$\_$0/ ＝ 1.0∼2.0) and ID-VRH model (L/L$\_$0/ ＝ 2.5) gave the best fit to the data for stretched Ppy-DEHS films.

본 논문은 전기화학 합성으로 형성한 폴리피롤(polypyrrole : PPy) 전극에 신경 전달물질(neurotransmitter)인 에피네프린(epinephrine : Ep)을 치환도핑하여 전압인가에 따른 방출과 자외선 분광법에 의한 검출 결과를 보인다. 폴리피롤 막은 정전압법으로 금 전극에 합성하였고, potassium phosphate buffer(pH 7.0) 내에서 에피네프린을 폴리피롤 막에 치환도핑하였다. 폴리피롤 막에 10mM Ep 농도로 치환도핑한 후 염화나트륨 수용액에서 -0.9V의 환원전압을 인가하여 에피네프린을 방출하였다. 자외선 분광법을 이용하여 파장 250$^{\sim}$400nm 영역에서 방출된 에피네프린 용액의 최대흡광도가 약 0.021 임을 확인하였고 이는 에피네프린 표준용액의 정량선으로부터 16${\mu}$g 이 방출되었음을 의미한다.

New type of supercapacitor using high surface area activated carbons mixed with high conductivity polypyrrole (Ppy) has been prepared in order to achieve low impedance and high energy density. Mixed carbons of BP-20 and MSP-20 were used as the active electrode material, and polypyrrole doped with 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (2-NSA) and carbon black (Super P) as conducting agents were added to activated carbons in order to enhance good electric conductivity. Electrodes prepared with the activated electrode materials and the conducting agents were added to a solution of organic binder [P(VdF-co-HFP) / NMP]. The ratio of optimum electrode composition was 78 : 17 : 5 wt.％ of (MSP20 : BP-20=1 : 1), (Super P : Ppy=10 : 7) and P(VdF-co-HFP) respectively. The performance of unit cell with addition of 7 wt％ Ppy have shown specific capacitance of 28.02 F/g, DC-ESR of $1.34{\Omega}$, AC-ESR of $0.36{\Omega}$, specific energy of 19.87 Wh/kg and specific power of 9.77 kW/kg. With addition of Ppy, quick charge-discharge of unit cell was possible because of low ESR, low charge transfer resistance and quick reaction rate. And good stability up to 500 chargedischarge cycles were retained about 80％ of their original capacity. It was concluded that the specific capacitance originated highly from compound phenomena of the pseudocapacitance by oxidation-reduction of polypyrrole and the nonfaradaic capacitance by adsorption-desorption of activated carbons.
