Abstract

In this work, thin films (thickness ∼ 0.5 μm) were obtained by plasma polymerization of pyrrole (Ppy) and thiophene (Pth) at 25-30 W and 0.1-0.2 mbar of pressure. Further doping with iodine was carried out to some of the Ppy and Pth films (Ppy/I2, Pth/I2) in order to enhance their electrical conductivity properties.

Structural and morphological characterization of both Ppy and Pth as well as of Ppy/I2 and Pth/I2 was performed using Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

In the light of the information given by IR, XPS and AFM techniques, exhaustive and accurate description of both undoped and I2/doped Ppy and Pth films obtained by Plasma Polymerization is attained.
