However, the low viscosity and solubility of these polymers make it challenging to produce layers using industrial techniques. Some commonly used conjugated conductive organic polymers include polyacetylene, polythiophene, polypyrrole, and polyaniline, among others. To expand their potential in further applications, new copolymers of vanillin and pyrrole were synthesized and characterized using various techniques, such as NMR, FTIR, UV, TGA, and electrical characterization. The optical properties of these copolymers were studied after doping using oxidation-reduction reactions with FeCl<sub>3</sub> to understand their redox behavior. The energy gap of the studied polymers was calculated and found to increase with the oxidation agent doping according to their oxidation potential. The cationic copolymer with Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup> had an energy gap of 0.92 eV, while the copolymer doped with FeCl<sub>3</sub> had an energy gap of 1.13 eV.

The occurrence of enzymatic hydrolysis under the action of nonspecific enzyme hyaluronidase is confirmed by the method of reducing sugars. The supramolecular structure of the polymer in solution is controlled using the approach including the use of cosolvents (modifiers), with a number of alcohols (ethanol, propylene glycol, and glycerol) being used as modifiers. It is shown that as polymer concentration in solution increases above 0.3 g/dL the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis almost ceases to raise with increasing concentration. This finding is associated with diffusion hindrances arising in interaction of the polymer with the enzyme due to an increase in the degree of aggregation of macromolecules in solution and formation of the entanglement network. In the presence of the modifiers in solution, the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis slows down. This effect can be explained by several factors: first, a decrease in the sizes of the macromolecular coil and an earlier formation of the entanglement network and, as a consequence, reduction in the accessibility of polymer units for interaction with the enzyme. Second, the modifying additives decrease the total β-glycosidase activity of hyaluronidase.
