Abstract
AbstractConducting polypyrrole (PPy) has been synthesized by the in situ gamma radiation‐induced chemical oxidative polymerization method. This method takes advantages of the specialties of radiation‐induction, and a highly uniform polymer morphology was obtained. The resultant nanosize polypyrrole particles were characterized by Elemental Analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X‐ray Diffraction (XRD). Measurements of polymer particle sizes were obtained at <500 nm. A standard four‐point probe revealed that the chemical synthesis of PPy has a good electrical property. Also thermal stability, checked by Thermal Gravimetric Analysis in air, was ensured by this novel synthesis. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
