UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy are used for determining the reaction mechanisms. The rate of pyrrole polymerization is determined by the rate of the initial electron-transfer reaction. The surface morphology is investigated with SEM. %K polypyrrole %K oxidant %K FeCl3 %K polymerization %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2010_1/b.02_polypyrrole_films_prepared_by_chemical_oxidation.pdf
