Abstract

Synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) / graphite (G) composites via chemical oxidation polymerization method is reported. Synthesized composites were studied for its structural, optical and electrical properties. Structural and morphological studies were performed using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and the effect of graphite on the properties of PPy is elaborated in detail. Further, the electrical measurements were carried using dielectric analyzer. Dielectric behavior of the composites was also compared with the PPy and graphite and confirmed the dependency of graphite on PPy/graphite nanocomposites. The EMI shielding response of PPy/graphite nanocomposites were measured in the microwave frequency range from 12 to 18 GHz (Ku band), of practical relevance. The observed effective electrical and EMI shielding properties highlights the prospects of multifunctional applications of these PPy/graphite nanocomposites.
