Preparation and Characterization Flexible Conductive PPy/BC Nanocomposite Membrane

Abstract:

Polypyrrole (PPy) is an intrinsically conducting polymer that has a wide variety of potential applications on electrical devices, sensors, electrode material, anticorrosion and antistatic coatings. Bacterial cellulose (BC), a natural nano-material with outstanding properties, can be used as a template material. In this study, water-wet BC was firstly used to prepare PPy/BC nanocomposite membrane by combining with PPy. The obtained nanocomposite showed excellent performances such as high conductivity, considerable mechanicl behavior and perfect flexibility. Effects of pyrrole concentration and reaction time on the electrical conductivity of the membrane were investigated. Besides, FT-IR, FE-SEM and mechanical properties were studies. The results revealed that it was possible to develop a novel PPy/BC nanocomposite with potential applications on flexible displays or sensors.
