Bahçeci, S.Toppare, L.Yurtsever, E.2016-02-082016-02-0819960379-6779http://hdl.handle.net/11693/25798The possibility of grafting between conducting polymers, like polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PAn), and insulating polymers, such as polybisphenol A carbonate (PC) and polyamide (PA), is studied via semi-empirical methods using the AM1 parametrization. Several experimental studies on the issue have previously revealed that a chemical interaction exists between the couples (PAn-PC, PPy-PC and PPy-PA) during the electrochemical synthesis of PAn and PPy in the insulating host matrices. Here we present additional theoretical evidence indicating that such grafting is possible, at least for small oligomers.EnglishGraftingChemical reactionsConductive materialsElectric insulating materialsElectrochemistryOligomersOrganic polymersPolyamidesPolycarbonatesQuantum theorySynthesis (chemical)X ray photoelectron spectroscopyChemical interactionElectrochemical synthesisParametrizationPolyanilinePolybisphenol A carbonatePolypyrroleSemi empirical quantum mechanical approachGrafting (chemical)Article10.1016/0379-6779(96)80222-0
