Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) was chemically synthesised on polyester (PES) textiles to produce conducting textiles. Two different types of counter ion were employed: anthraquinone sulfonic acid (AQSA) and phosphotungstate (PW12O403-). Textiles covered with PPy were characterised by means of FTIR-ATR, SEM, EDX, cyclic voltammetry (CV), surface resistivity measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Additionally, friction and washing assays were done to test the resistance of the layer of conducting polymer (PPy/PW12O403−). Electropolymerisation of PPy/PW12O403− in acetonitrile medium onto chemically synthesised PES–PPy/PW12O403− showed the improvement of the coating properties.
