polypyrroles

initialism: Ppy
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08898
Polymers composed of macromolecules with backbones composed of pyrrole rings (structure-based polymer class name definition).

Notes:

  1. Polypyrroles belong among conjugated polymers.

  2. Polypyrroles found applications mainly in the field of sensors. Applications in electronic devices are still limited owing to insufficient stability of PPy.
