Thermal-Diffusivity and Electrical-Conductivity of Electropolymerized Polypyrrole Films
This article presents measurement of thermal diffusivity and electrical conductivity of polypyrrole films prepared by electropolymerization. Thermal diffusivity was measured by laser radiometry (former flash radiometry). Electrical conductivity was determined by a conventional four-probe method. Increase of thermal diffusivity is observed when increasing the supporting electrolyte concentration, which is also shared with the increase of electrical conductivity. Both thermal diffusivity and electrical conductivity significantly depended on the types of counter anion incorporating into polymer bulk. Thermal diffusivity of polypyrrole film is larger than that for common nonelectrical conductive polymers. Temperature profile of thermal diffusivity for as-grown polypyrrole films shows that thermal diffusivity increases with increasing temperature (first running profile), whereas remeasured temperature profile of thermal diffusivity (second or third running profiles) shows the decrease of thermal diffusivity with increasing temperature. Electrical conductivity monotonically increases until the significant decrease of it occurs at the temperature above 130-degrees-C. Investigation of these temperature profiles of thermal diffusivity and electrical conductivity has been made by corresponding to thermal analysis data.
