Electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in a solution containing dissolved poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) produces a homogeneous, free-standing, flexible, and conductive polymer film. The films were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The appearance of standard and some new absorption bands for polypyrrole (PPy) and PVA confirms the composite formation. The mechanical properties of conducting PVA + PPy films were studied and found to be improved with respect to the control PPY films. The electrical conductivity of the PVA + PPy films was measured by using standard four-and two-probe methods. The conductivity of the films was found to depend on the pyrrole content. These conducting composites were further used as gas sensors by observing the change in current with respect to ammonia gas. It was observed that the current decreases when these composites were exposed to ammonia gas. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
