Abstract
Polypyrrole/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites were synthesized by dispersion of organically modified multiwall carbon nanotubes during an interfacial polymerization of pyrrole. During the polymerization, the carbon nanotubes are entrapped by the polymer chains and the nanocomposite is formed in the interphase between two immiscible solvents. The method favours a better dispersion of the nanotubes in the polypyrrole offering enhanced electrical properties. The characterisation of the composite material has been established by XRD, TGA analysis and electron microscopy techniques.
