A new class of dimethyl formamide (DMF)– and acetone‐soluble conducting pyrrole–ketonic resin copolymers has been developed. This was accomplished by oxidatively polymerizing pyrrole monomer by Ce(IV) salt in the presence of methyl ethyl ketone formaldehyde resin (MEKF–R). The resulting copolymers were readily dissolved in DMF and acetone. These products were characterized by FTIR and UV‐visible spectroscopy, conductivity, four‐probe conductivity, viscosity, and DSC measurements. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
