Preparation and properties of conductive polypyrrole polyester fabric

The paper discussed the preparation conditions and properties of the conductive polypyrrole polyester fabrics prepared by in-situ polymerization using polyesters before and after weight reduction,respectively. Scanning electron microscopy,FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to analyze the surface morphology,structure,and element content of the atomic number fraction,and the presence of polypyrrole was confirmed. The influence of alkali weight reduction treatment,dopant and oxidant on the conductivity of the fabric were investigated. The results showed that the conductive polypyrrole polyester fabric with good conductivity can be prepared through alkali weight reduction treatment of the polyester fabric and proper control of the concentrations of the dopant and oxidant during the treatment. Moreover, the prepared conductive fabric had good washability.
