Abstract:

Two types of new electroactive composite systems based on elastic substrates (porous polyethylene films) have been elaborated. The systems of the first type are composed of electroconductive polymers (polypyrrole and polyaniline) obtained by in situ oxidative polymerization of their monomers on porous polyethylene substrates. The composites of the second type contain a cross-linked polyelectrolyte, and they were prepared by polymerization of acrylic acid with a macromolecular cross-linker on the porous substrates. The mechanical properties and the deformational behavior of the porous films and composites have been investigated and analyzed.
