Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy)/poly(pyrrole-co-acrylamide) (Poly(Py-co-AAm)/nanocomposite was prepared by a simple and inexpensive in-situ co-polymerization of pyrrole and acrylamide in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, and conductivity measurements. The FTIR spectra ascertain the chemical interlinking of polypyrrole and copolymer with magnetite nanoparticles. The XRD revealed that crystallinity of the copolymer was increased with weight percentage of the magnetite nanoparticles. SEM analysis showed that the nanoparticles were well shaped and uniformly dispersed in the nanocomposites. Thermal stability and the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite were higher than that of polypyrrole and the copolymer.
