Polypyrrole

Polypyrrole
Pyrrole can be polymerised electrochemically.[1]

Polypyrrole (PPy) is an organic polymer obtained by oxidative polymerization of pyrrole. It is a solid with the formula H(C4H2NH)nH. It is an intrinsically conducting polymer, used in electronics, optical, biological and medical fields.[2][3]
