Hydrophobic polypyrrole-coated fabrics with improved electrical conductivity were produced embedding oleic acid as counter-ion. Hydrophobisation of polypyrrole was carried out by means of an ion exchange process after deposition of polypyrrole on cotton fabrics. The fabrics coated with oleic acid-doped polypyrrole showed contact angle of 111A degrees, drop absorption time of 7 minutes and high water repellence, while electrical conductivity increased of similar to 2 times and heat generation improved, too. Moreover, oleic acid demonstrated a great stability as counter-ion in polypyrrole matrix being present also after washing.
