Conducting polymer functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes with noble metal nanoparticles: Synthesis, morphological characteristics and electrical properties

Synthesis and application of polypyrrole/carrageenan nano-bio composite as a cathode catalyst in microbial fuel cells

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t Nowadays , intrinsically conducting polymers have attracted a lot of attention in the area of advanced materials, such as polyaniline (PANI) , sulfonated PANI (SPAN)-Fe3O4 nanocomposites (Reddy, Lee & Iyengar, 2007), PANi functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes with metal nanoparticles (Reddy, Sin, Ryu, Kim, Chung & Lee, 2009). Among conducting polymers PPy and its composite exhibit highly attractive for variety of their application because of it is environmentally stable, easy to synthesize and highly conductive as well as showing a low electropolymerization of PPy compared to other conductive polymer which allows PPy and its composite stay stable under ambient conditions (Ates, Karazehir & Sarac, 2012) .…”

Thiosemicarbazide derivative-functionalized carbon nanotube for simultaneous determination of isoprenaline and piroxicam

“…In comparison with covalent functionalization, noncovalent functionalization is an easier method and has the benefit of preserving nanotube ' s sp 2 structure, therefore preserving the electronic properties (Fernando et al 2004;Tournus et al 2005). Noncovalent approaches use different types of functionalization agents involving polymers, poly nuclear aromatic compounds, surfactants, and biomolecules for the noncovalent dispersion of carbon nanotubes (Reddy et al 2009). Among these approaches, modifying the nanotube surface using aromatic moieties is very significant (Chen et al 2001b).…”

Polyaniline In Situ Grafted to Graphene Sheets

“…Polyaniline is an intrinsically conducting polymer (ICP) known for its facile synthesis, stability and reversible acid/base-doping/ dedoping (Li et al, Synthesis, 2012;Wu et al, Supercapacitors, 2010;Bo et al, 2011;Reddy et al, 2009;Bhadra et al, 2009;Lai et al, 2012). It has a fairly good processability and conductivity, and from an economic point of view, it is significantly superior to other ICPs because its monomer, aniline, is less expensive than other monomers used for other ICPs.…”

“…ICPs are known to be unstable due to their ease of oxidation. On the other hand, π-π stacking, albeit strong as seen in the stacking of graphene sheets in graphite, is easily dislodged by exfoliation (Reddy et al, 2009). The dislodged polyaniline, without graphene, is prone to oxidation.…”
