Polypyrrole-coated polyethylene terephthalate is very attractive for various applications as electrically conductive fiber. This paper investigates the importance of polyester pre-treatment on the quality of the polypyrrole coating and its conductivity efficiency. The results showed nucleophilic pre-treatments by Grignard reagents resulting in the significantly higher surface quality and strongest adhesion of the polypyrrole coating to the polyester fibers compared to the other published methods. Moreover, several Grignard reagents were used for altering the hydrophobicity and morphology of the surface.
