Interfacial polymerization of pyrrole and in situ synthesis of polypyrrole/silver nanocomposites

A novel, rapid synthetic protocol for controllable sizes, conductivities and monomer units of soluble polypyrrole

“…The chemical polymerization of pyrrole can be accomplished using dispersive polymerization [20], interfacial polymerization [21,22], seeding techniques [23,24], emulsion polymerization [25,26], etc. Surfactant-assisted emulsion techniques offer facile routes for synthesizing PPy whereby interesting optical, electrical and morphological properties can be achieved in conjunction with easy removal of templates.…”

Synthesis of PPy–silver nanocomposites via in situ oxidative polymerization

“…It is one of the important green chemistry processes to prepare multifunctional polymers. This method has been widely used to prepare different types of conducting polymers and their different derivatives [1,5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The preparation of nanocomposite of PPy and organic nanoparticles becomes a novel challenge for investigators.…”

Reaction factors for photo-electrochemical deposition of metal silver on polypyrrole as conducting polymer

“…On the other hand, there has been no reports focusing on the effect of the UV irradiation on the silver deposition step upon the formation of the composite. In addition, most reports about the structures of the composite obtained by the single-step formation process showed that silver was incorporated as a core or dispersed inside the conducting polymer [10,[14][15][16][17][18]. In some reports, metal silver was deposited on the surface of the polymer [6,19,20].…”
