Synthesis of microspheres of poly (pyrrolyl methine) by interfacial polymerization

Abstract

Conducting microspheres of poly (pyrrolyl methine) (PPDMABE-MS) were synthesized by the interfacial polymerization. An optimal condition was found under which spheres with 0.5-1 mu min diameter were obtained. The morphology of PPDMABE-MS was proved by SEM, and their backbone structure was characterized by FT-IR. The measurement results indicated that the molecular structures of the PPDMABE-MSs were identical to that of PPDMABE synthesized by solution method.
