In this work, polypyrrole/CeO2 nanocomposite (NC) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. The field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) images indicate that the CeO2 NPs have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous PPycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the CeO2 core by the PPy shell. The effect ofNC on acrylic waterbor...

The procedures for the synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) doped with anionic spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (ASPB) (PPy/ASPB nanocomposite) by means of in situ chemical oxidative polymerization were presented. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic analysis suggested the bonding structure of PPy/ASPB nanocomposite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to co...

A novel nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor has been fabricated by dispersing copper nanoparticles onto polypyrrole (PPy) nanowires by cyclic voltammetry (CV) to form PPy-copper nanocomposites on gold electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the morphologies of the PPy nanowires and the PPy-copper nanocomposite. The reactivity of the PPy-copper nanocompos...

Potentiometric sensing and electrochemical recycling of cadmium ion have been demonstrated over chemical interactive electrically conducting bio nanocomposite film comprised zinc oxide, sodium alginate, polypyrrole (ZnO/SA-g-PPy) using...

Fe(3)O(4) coated polypyrrole (PPy) magnetic nanocomposite was prepared via in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer for the removal of highly toxic Cr(VI). Structure and morphology of the prepared nanocomposite were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) an...

Flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)/polypyrrole/paper (PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper) thermoelectric (TE) nanocomposite films were prepared by a two-step method: first, PPy/paper nanocomposite films were prepared by an in situ chemical polymerization process, and second, PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper TE composite films were fabricated by coating the as-prepared PPy/paper nanocomposite ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by sol gel process. In-situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer in the presence of oxygen in iron oxide ethanol suspension resulted in a iron-oxide polypyrrole nanocomposite. The structure and magnetic properties of the nanocomposites with varying pyrrole concentrations are investigated. The X-Ray diffraction studies indicate the presence of γ − Fe2O3 phase ...

Polypyrrole/silver (PPy/Ag)nanocomposite was synthesized by a chemical oxidative method. SEM and TEM analyses were performed for studying the morphology of the nanocomposite. It was shown that the obtained nanocomposite particles have a spherical structure with the high surface area to volume ratio that is the important factor in the biological application. The particle sizes of the P...

A novel impedimetric biosensor was fabricated for total cholesterol sensing based on platinum nanoparticle and polypyrrole multilayer nanocomposite electrode. The Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) electrochemically deposited between two polypyrrole layers on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plates (PtNP/PPY/ITO) have offered high-electroactive surface area and favourable microenvironment for immobilization o...
