Abstract

Polypyrrole/poly (vinyl chloride) semi-interpenetrating networks of different compositions are prepared using ammonium per sulfate initiator at room temperature in pellet form and film form and their dielectric properties are studied at different microwave frequencies. An HP 8510 Vector network analyzer interfaced with a computer is used. The cavity-perturbation technique is employed for the study. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
