ABSTRACT
As mentioned in studies, conductive polymers such as polypyrrole (PPy), polyacetylene, and so on continue to be the focus of active research in diverse fields including electronics, energy storage catalysis, chemical sensing, and biochemistry. Among the conducting polymers, the PPy can be coated onto textile surfaces using either electrochemical or chemical oxidation of pyrrole in the presence of the fabric. It has been shown that non-conducting fibers such as cotton, silk, and wool or synthesis fibers become conductive when they are coated with PPy. It has been found that the in situ polymerization method is able to produce conductive PPy coated textiles, such as nylon, Lycra, and Taffeta polyester fabrics suitable for such a purpose.
