The polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/polypyrrole (PPy) composite films have been prepaxed by exposing the PAN films containing oxidizing agent such as ferric chloride or cupric chloride to pyrrole vapor. The formation of PPy in PAN was confirmed by means of IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy and the X-ray differaction study showed the amorphous structure of PPy. The breaking strength of PAN/PPy composite films was 3-5 times lower but the breaking elongation of them was 4-5 times higher than that of PAN film.

Yoneyama 등이 2001년 기존의 potentiometry 형의 요소 센서보다 우수한 성능을 갖는ampeometry 정의 요소 센서를 제안한 이후, 전자 전달 메커니즘에 관한 관심이 집중되어 왔으나, urease로부터 전극 기질까지의 전자 전달 매질로서 전도성 고분자보다 쉽고 단순한 공정은 아직까지 제시된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 전도성 고분자로서 polypyrrole(PPy)과 poly(3-methylthiophene)(P3MT)을 이용하여 다공성 실리콘(PS) 요소 센서를 제작하고 각각의 특성을 전기화학적으로 분석하였다. Urease 고정화 전압, 고정화 시간, 고정화 시의 효소 농도, 수소이온 농도 등이 감도에 미치는 영향은 PPy 와 P3MT 각각의 경우 유사한 경향성을 보였다. 감도 특성의 경우, PPy는 다공질 실리콘 전극과 평면 전극 각각에 대하여 1.55 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 0.91 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$였고, P3MT의 경우는 각각 8.44 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 4.28 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$의 감도를 보였다. 즉, PPy가 P3MT 보다 일반적으로 높은 감도를 보였고, 다공질 실리콘 전극을 사용하는 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 약 2배외 감도 향상 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 재현성이나 안정성의 경우는 P3MT 가 PPy 보다 우수하였다. 사용 빈도에 따른 감도 저하는 다공질 실리콘 전극의 경우 직선적으로 감소하셨으나 평면 전극의 경우는 지수함수적으로 감소하였다 시간에 따른 감도 저하 현상은 만15일 이후의 감도를 기준으로 하여, 10% 미만의 감도저하를 보임으로써 PPy, P3MT 모두 우수한 특성을 보였다.

In recent years, supercapacitors have been developed rapidly as a rechargeable energy storage device. And the performance of supercapacitors is depending on electrode materials, the preparation method and performance of electrode materials have become the primary goal of scientific development. This study synthesizes Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy cathode material with porous pattern core-shell structure by hydrothermal method and electrodeposition. The result samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction transmission/scanning electron microscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical evaluation reveals that electrochemical performance is significantly enhanced by PPy depositing. The specific capacitance of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy is 977 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1, the capacitance retention rate of 105%. Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy//AC asymmetric supercapacitor assembles with AC as the negative electrode material is significantly better than that of MnO₂//AC and Co₃O₄@MnO₂//AC. The capacity of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy//AC is 102.78 F g^-1. The capacity retention rate is still 120% for 5000 charge-discharge cycles.

New devices with the structure of ITO/2-TNATA/NPB/TCTA/CBP:$7%Ir(ppy)_3$/BCP/SFC-137/LiF/Al were designed and fabricated to develop high efficiency green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes and their electroluminescence properties were evaluated. Among the devices with different thicknesses of CBP in a range of $150{\AA}{\sim}350{\AA}$, the best luminance was obtained in the device with $300{\AA}$-thick CBP host. Nearly saturated current efficiencies indicates that the maximum efficiency value can be obtained with CBP thicknesses of $300{\AA}{\sim}350{\AA}$. The current density, luminance, and current efficiency of the PhOLED(phosphorescent organic light emitting diode) with $CBP(300{\AA}):7%Ir(ppy)_3-emissive$ layer at an applied voltage of 10V were $40mA/cm^2,\;10000cd/m^2$, and 25 cd/A, respectively. The maximum current efficiency was 40.5cd/A under the luminance of $160cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength and FWHM(full width at half maximum) in the electroluminescence spectral were 512nm and 60nm, respectively. The color coordinate was (0.28, 0.63) on the CIE (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage) chart.

This work explored the catalytic effect of Pt in multi-wall carbon nanotube and poly-pyrrole conductive polymer electrocatalysts (Pt/PPy/MWCNT). A home-made Pt/PPy/MWCNT catalyst was first evaluated by comparing its electrochemical active surface area (ESA) with E-Tek commercial catalysts by cyclic voltammetry in $H_2SO_4$ solution. Then, the methanol oxidation currents of Pt/PPy/MWCNT and the hydrogen peaks in $H_2SO_4$ solution were serially measured with microporous electrode. This provided the current density of methanol oxidation based on the ESA, allowing a quantitative comparison of catalytic activity. The current densities were also measured for Pt/C catalysts of E-Tek and Tanaka Precious Metal Co. The current densities for the different catalysts were similar, implying that catalytic activity depended directly on the ESA rather than charge transfer or electronic conductivity.

Aluminium solid electrolytic capacitor in which electroconducting polypyrrole(PPy) is used as an electrolyte is studied. Pyrrole(Py) is electrochemically synthesized using the etched and anodized aluminium foil electrode($Al_2O_3$) as an anode on which the thin layer of chemicalpolymerized PPy as a pre-coating layer is formed previously by chemical oxidative polymerization(CP). Investigating the effects of the polymerization conditions on the electrical characteristics of resulting capacitors, the capacitors which were obtained from the galvanostatic electrolysis of pyrrole containing sodium p-toluenesulfonate(TsONa) under the currents of $2.0{\sim}4.0mA/unit(6.5{\times}10mm)$, showed the most superior properties.

This manuscript explains the effective determination of urea by redox cyclic voltammetric analysis, for which a modified polypyrrole-graphene oxide (PPY-GO, GO 20% w/w of PPY) nanocomposite electrode was developed. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed an effective electron transfer in 0.1 M KOH electrolytic solution in the potential window range of 0 to 0.6 V. This PPY-GO modified electrode exhibited a moderate electrocatalytic effect towards urea oxidation, thereby allowing its determination in an electrolytic solution. The linear dependence of the current vs. urea concentration was reached using square-wave voltammetry in the concentration range of urea between 0.5 to $3.0{\mu}M$ with a relatively low limit of detection of $0.27{\mu}M$. The scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphologies and properties of the nanocomposite layer, along with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the nanocomposite film modified electrode exhibited a synergistic effect, including high conductivity, a fast electron-transfer rate, and an inherent catalytic ability.

Polypyrrole (PPy) was coated sequentially by chemical and electrochemical methods on a woven fabric, giving rise to a fabric having high electrical conductivity. We investigated the effects of the preparation conditions on the various properties of the resulting fabric. The PPy-coated fabric with optimum properties was obtained when it was prepared sequentially by chemical polymerization at the elevated temperature of 100$^{\circ}C$ under a pressure of 0.9 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and then electrochemical polymerization with a 3.06 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ current density at 25 $^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs with the separator plate. The surface resistivity of the resulting fabric was as low as 5 Ω/$\square$ .The PPy-coated fabric prepared under the optimum conditions showed practically applicable heat generating property. When electrical power was supplied to the fabric using a commercial battery for a mobile phone (3.6 V, LGLl-AHM), the temperature of the fabric increased very quickly from room temperature to ca. 55 $^{\circ}C$ within 2 min and was maintained for ca. 80 min at that temperature. The heat generating property of the fabric was extremely stable, exhibiting similar behavior over 10 repeated cycles. Therefore, we suggest that the PPy-coated fabric in this study may be practically useful for many applications, including flexible, portable surface-heating elements for medical or other applications.
