This work presents the characterization of p ‐toluene sulfonate doped polypyrrole–poly(methylthienyl methacrylate) films synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on a poly(methylthienyl methacrylate) coated anode. Pyrolysis mass spectrometry was used to characterize the polymer. The study was focused on the influence of each of the components on the thermal degradation behaviour of the other. The results indicated that decomposition of the matrix polymer, ie poly(methylthienyl methacrylate), had occurred during the polymerization of pyrrole. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
