One-pot synthesis of conducting polymer-coated latex particles: ammonium persulfate as free radical initiator and chemical oxidant.
Conducting polymer-coated polystyrene latex particles were synthesized in one pot using ammonium persulfate as an initiator for free radical polymerization of styrene and a chemical oxidant for chemical oxidative polymerization. Pressed pellets of the core-shell particles showed an efficient electrical conduction.
