Well-Defined Blackberry-Like Polypyrrole Microspheres via Chemical Oxidative Polymerization in the Presence of Functional Floating Bead as In Situ Dopant

Article Preview

Abstract:

Functional floating bead (F-FB), prepared by anchoring the organic sulfonic acid on the surface of the blackberry-like structural FB, was used as both the inorganic substrate and the in situ dopant for the in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole to obtain the plypyrrole/functional floating bead (PPy/F-FB) nanocomposite material. The composites possess high electrical conductivity at room temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the thermal stability of PPy/F-FB composites was enhanced and these can be attributed to the retardation effect of sulfonic acid-functionalized FB as barriers for the degradation of PPy. The morphology of PPy/FB composites showed the well-defined blackberry-like morphology.
