One-dimensional nanostructures of conducting polypyrrole: Preparation and properties

Abstract

In order to expand the possibilities of application of conducting polypyrrole, an optimized method for the synthesis of one-dimensional polymer nanostructures has been developed. By a simple one-step synthesis, polypyrrole is obtained in the form of uniform one-dimensional nanoparticles with diameter 90 nm and aspect ratio more than 50. It is shown that the main properties of one-dimensional polypyrrole (conductivity, specific surface area, absorption in near-infrared and stability) are superior to common bulk polymer with spherical structure of nanoparticles. © 2019 IEEE.
