Despite many investigations of the conducting polymer polypyrrole; its ultimate potential for electrochromic and organic electronic applications has been hampered by a lack of electrical stability. In this study the stability of polypyrrole has been enhanced by introducing a triblock copolymer; poly(ethylene glycol) - poly(propylene glycol) - poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG); into the oxidant solution in the vapour phase polymerisation (VPP) process. The inclusion of this triblock copolymer produces polypyrrole thin films with (favorably) smooth and uniform morphology; an RMS surface roughness of ca. 4 nm; combined with an increase in electrical switching stability and conductivity. When the homopolymers PEG or PPG are employed in the oxidant; the resulting films do not show the same magnitude of stability; morphological or electrical enhancement. Increasing the amount of PEG-PPG-PEG in the oxidant solution yields a decrease in the thickness of the polypyrrole films with a concomitant reduction in the measured band gap and a red shift of the absorbance peak. This enhanced polypyrrole demonstrates the expected electrochromic behaviour; but with a greater than 20-fold increase in electrical switching stability. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved;
