Abstract
Abstract Pyrroles or mixtures of pyrroles with comonomers are polymerized electrochemically by anodic oxidation of the monomers in solution or dispersion in an electrolyte solvent, in the presence of a conductive salt, with deposition of the pyrrole polymer at the sheet-like anode, by a process in which the anode used consists of an electrically non-conductive sheet-like element which can be impregnated with the electrolyte solution and one or more electrically conducting support and contact strips which connects electrically to a current supply for the anode. The special anode for the electrochemical polymerization of pyrroles, and the products obtainable by the process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A process for the electrochemical polymerization of a pyrrole or a mixture of a pyrrole with a comonomer by anodic oxidation of the monomers in solution or dispersion in an electrolyte solvent, in the presence of a conductive salt, with deposition of the pyrrole polymer on a sheet-like element of the anode, said anode consisting essentially of a porous, electrically non-conductive, sheet-like element which can be impregnated with said electrolyte solution or dispersion and one or more electrically conducting support and contact strips integral with and in functional relationship with said sheet-like element by electrically connecting said sheet-like element with the anode current supply.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for the electrochemical polymerization of a pyrrole or a mixture of a pyrrole with a comonomer by anodic oxidation of the monomers in solution or dispersion in an electrolyte solvent, in the presence of a conductive salt, with deposition of the pyrrole polymer on a sheet-like element of the anode, said anode consisting essentially of a porous, electrically non-conductive, sheet-like element which can be impregnated with said electrolyte solution or dispersion and one or more electrically conducting support and contact strips integral with and in functional relationship with said sheet-like element by electrically connecting said sheet-like element with the anode current supply.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process in accordance with claim 1, wherein the anode contains a quadrilateral sheet-like element possessing one or two pairs of parallel sides.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein two support and contact strips are mounted opposite one another on the electrically non-conductive sheet-like element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrically non-conductive sheet-like element is a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a laid web, a plait, a net, a non-woven fibrous material, a web, a fiber mat, a felt or an open-cell foam.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrically non-conductive sheet-like element consists of cellulose, a cellulose derivative, natural and/or synthetic fibers and/or filaments, a plastic or an inorganic material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrochemical polymerization is carried out using a voltage of from 1 to 100 volt and a current density of from 0.05 to 20 mA/cm 2 .
