Preparation of a molecular‐level composite of sulfonated polyurethane ionomer and polypyrrole (PUA‐PPy) was performed by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution of polyurethane anionomer and was confirmed by compositional and Fourier transform infrared analysis. The effects of anionomer concentration and of electrochemical reduction process were followed, and it was forecasted that the composite could behave as a cation exchanger. Some results of thermal analysis were also presented. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 66: 591–595, 1997
