08898 IUPAC Gold Book - polypyrroles 10.1351/goldbook.08898 08898 current initialism: Ppy 1 Polymers composed of macromolecules with backbones composed of pyrrole rings (structure-based polymer class name definition). 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. conjugated polymers https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/08785 PAC, 2022, 94, 15.
