Hi, I want to introduce some organic molecules on polyaniline and polypyrrole backbones to make them more soluble in organic solvents. What are the chemical reaction that are possible on these polymers? (with detailed protocols if possible).
Kind regards
Dr. S. DJELLALI
Dear Dr. S. DJELLALI;
generally, it more easy and convenient to modify the monomers and not the polymers, since this latter has the potential problem of solubility in all solvents. A lot of work was done on the chemical modification of aniline and pyrrole and the others monomers used for the preparation of conducting polymers.
On the other hand physical modification such as blending with other polymers is another issue. Regards
Polypyrrole can be doped with charge-compensating anions (e.g. OH-), as I have mentioned answering to this other question: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Which_solvent_should_we_use_to_solubilise_the_polypyrrole2#55adecb56307d9b87e8b4581
