Investigating the influence of various organosilanized substrates and dopant species on the properties of transparent polypyrrole thin films deposited on glass surfaces

In this work, we systematically prepared a series of polypyrrole thin films doped with chloride, p-toluenesulfonate or anthraquinone-2-sulfonate and deposited on glass substrates treated with octadecyltrichlorosilane, 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane, N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)pyrrole or 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The properties of those polypyrrole thin films were compared after they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
