Abstract

The highly electroactive thiokol rubber (TR)/ conjugated polymer (eg. polyaniline (PAn) or polypyrrole (PPy)) composite films were prepared by electropolymenzation deposition via one-step process in the electrolytic solutions containing aniline or pyrrole and TR oligomer. The electrocatalysis of PAn or PPy for the electrodepolymerization (reduction)- electropolymenzation (oxidation) reaction of TR in the interface between PAn or PPy and TR is determined by cyclic voltammograms. The differeme between the oxidation potential and the reduction potential is 0.05V and 0.36V or less for TR/PAn and TR/PPy composite films, respectively The chemical bands between the nitrogen atoms of PAn or PPy and the mercaptan groups of TR (oligomer) are formed in the electropolymenzation process that is indicated by XPS. The conductivities of TR/PAn and TR/PPy composite films and the stability of the cells consisting of those films are remarkably improved after electrochemical reduction with addition of a suitable conducting carbon black.
