Polymers composed of macromolecules with backbones composed of pyrrole rings (structure-based polymer class name definition).
Notes:
- Polypyrroles belong among conjugated polymers.
- Polypyrroles found applications mainly in the field of sensors. Applications in electronic devices are still limited owing to insufficient stability of PPy.
