A Comparative Study on Optical, Electrical, and Mechanical Properties of Conducting Polymer-Based Electrodes

Transparent, free-standing, conducting polypyrrole (PPy) film is successfully fabricated by a simple method using the spin-coating technique. The free-standing PPy film exhibits high transparency, flexibility, electrical conductivity, and stable mechanical properties because the PPy film is composed of densely packed and highly ordered PPy nanoparticles. This approach provides feasible candidate for applications requiring flexible and conducting materials.
