Abstract
| - Aqueous polypyrrole latex reacted at room temperature with good nucleophiles such asthiols and amines, while alcohols showed no reaction. The reactions were followed by visible, XPS, andESR spectroscopy, radiolabeling, and conductometric titration. This finding provides for a facile methodfor the modification of polypyrrole surface chemistry. A mechanism of chemical addition into the conjugatedpolymer chain is proposed which is consistent with these results.
