Copolymers of aniline and pyrrole have been prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of 1:1 mixture of aniline and pyrrole monomer with ammonium per sulphate and ferric chloride. The structural and morphological properties were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Both copolymers showed an amorphous behaviour compared to their homopolymers. SEM micrographs of poly(aniline-pyrrole) copolymer showed agglomerated spherical structures where as poly(2,5 dimethoxyanilinepyrrole) showed disordered structures of spherical agglomerates. The copolymers showed improved UV-Vis absorption with the broad peak from
