Molar enthalpy of the polypyrrole electrochemistry

The kinetics of the angular movement of a triple-layer muscle working potentiostatically under different temperatures allowed the obtention of both the activation energy and the molar enthalpy of the process. By compaction of a polypyrrole film under constant temperature and at a constant cathodic potential, followed by a subsequent oxidation at a constant anodic potential under different temperatures, the molar enthalpy was obtained by application of the ESCR model. Similar results, 27.1 kJ/mol, from muscles, versus 27.7 kJ/mol, from relaxation experiments, were obtained.
