摘要

Composites based on physically cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) alcogels containing electrically conductive polypyrrole (PPy) were obtained. For the first time, polyvinyl alcohol gels (antifreeze-PVA) were formed by gelation of a PVA solution in aqueous ethanol under conditions that prevented freezing of the gel-like composition. During gelation, oxidative polymerization of pyrrole took place. It was shown that addition of ethanol into the system increases the PPy content in anti-freezing PVA gel compared to PVA cryogel (cryo-PVA). The resulting dried composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, and IR spectroscopy. The conductivity of antifreeze-PVA—PPy composites was an order of magnitude higher than that of cryo-PVA—PPy; with the increase in the PPy content, the current–voltage characteristics acquired a non-Ohmic nature.
